The MSc Electronic Engineering enables students to acquire the essential knowledge, skills, competency, and critical awareness necessary for a rewarding career in the electronics industry. The University of Essex prepares students for a career in analogue and digital circuit design, an area with a major skills shortage worldwide and particularly in the UK.
The content of the course is far-reaching and includes theory, practice, simulation and realization underpinned by the University of Essex's 40 years of expertise in electronics and telecommunications. The course brings together the University of Essex's teaching, research and industrial contacts to form a vocational offering with enhanced postgraduate employability. Students will be equipped with skills in the areas of: analogue and digital design, CAD and IC design, time and frequency domain analysis, fault analysis, embedded processing, and DSPs and fast prototyping.
All of the students' acquired knowledge culminates in a project which sees the design, simulation, construction, testing and manufacture of a complex electronic system aimed at the industrial or consumer markets.
The University of Essex is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Today’s electronic engineers are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental. The University of Essex is home to many of the world’s top engineers, and their work is driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence.
