MSc-Nottingham-Engineering (Electronics)

The MSc Engineering (Electronics) has been designed to provide graduates with a broad education in engineering alongside a greater depth of understanding in imaging and display technology, together with smart mathematical techniques for engineering design and optimisation.

Combining computer science, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering and management, the course offers opportunities to develop imagination and innovation in design solutions, enterprise, leadership and inter-personnel skills.

Based within the purpose-built, £8 million building of the School of Science and Technology, we are able to offer postgraduates the option to study either a Postgraduate Diploma or MSc in Engineering (Electronics).

Both courses aim to produce individuals who have the skills relevant to careers in the engineering and industrial sectors.

The postgraduate academic year is divided into three terms: term one has 10 weeks; term two has 20 weeks; and term three has 15 weeks. For the Postgraduate Diploma you will study 40 credits in term one and 80 credits in term two. Those students who wish to continue on to the MSc will study 60 credits in term three. The first two terms are spent studying the taught modules and the last term, pursuing an individual major project.

Global Business Management; Imaging and Display Systems; Wireless Communications and Mobile Networking
These modules are assessed by a combination of both coursework and examination.

All other modules are assessed by coursework, case studies and projects.

Why study at Nottingham Trent University?
The most significant reason to study Engineering (Electronics) at Nottingham Trent is the commercial relevance of our courses. For example, an innovative and distinctive feature of the course is the cross-disciplinary group design project, which provides a challenging, simulated environment in which to work as a member of a team. The project will encourage you to develop your imagination, creativity and innovation in design solutions. You will also build on your leadership, team building and communication skills, all of which are attractive to potential employers.

The course will crucially provide you with a postgraduate level education in the theory and practice of engineering, integrating aspects of computer science, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, business, management and entrepreneurship. The course emphasises the importance of independent learning, problem solving and self-organisation.

The Engineering (Electronics) courses within the School are taught by highly experienced staff members, many of whom are involved with cutting-edge research that ensures their teaching remains at the forefront of computing technology.

We’ve invested heavily in computing facilities, which include our £8 million purpose-built building housing multiple networked computer rooms, multimedia editing suites and specialist labs for imaging, networks and communications for the use of computing and technology students. Everything students need is in one building, from a one-stop shop for student enquiries to high-spec teaching and tutorial rooms. A large area has been designed specifically for the School’s postgraduate students and includes computer labs, teaching rooms and an open plan social area.

Not only will you have enviable transferable skills at the end of this course, but you will also be perfectly placed to enter a range of careers in the industrial or engineering sectors.

The industry-focused nature of this course will ensure that you stand out from the crowd when it comes to job applications and pursuing your future career. Nottingham Trent graduates are widely respected amongst employers and our Computing and Technology students are perceived as having the competitive edge due to the hands-on approach of our teaching.
