The communications field includes mobile phone handsets and cellular networks, long-haul optical and satellite communications, data transmission and security, the internet and digital broadcasting. It’s one of the fastest growing engineering sectors, and one in which the UK is particularly successful.
If you’re looking for a career in the communications industries, this course is for you. You’ll gain a broad foundation in modern electronic engineering and the mathematical and scientific principles that underpin it. You’ll study a range of specialist topics, including high-frequency and microwave engineering used in mobile communications links.
You’ll be taught by experts in world-class facilities, giving you access to the latest research in the field and developing your knowledge base. Project work in every year will also help to develop your professional skills for diverse roles across the communications industry.
**Course highlights**
- Our courses are shaped by our world-leading research in areas such as bio-nano and quantum technologies, robotics, energy-efficient green communications networks and renewable energy.
- There are lots of opportunities for you to work alongside our academics and get involved in the research happening in the School.
- During your project work you will have access to specialist facilities and laboratories.
- Our theoretical modules are supported by extensive practical sessions in the laboratory, allowing you to work on group and individual projects, giving you an effective way of learning in depth and a chance to focus on aspects of the subject you find most interesting.
- Small groups and examples classes are used to support the teaching, so you get regular feedback from the academic staff helping you solve any problems that you might have with a particular topic.
