Course detail

Description

The Electronic Engineering with Management MSc course will prepare you for work in industry at a relatively advanced level in electronic engineering or management roles.

You will study Project Management, Fundamentals of Digital Signal Processing, and Topics on Data & Signal Analysis as well as the Principles of Management. There are also opportunities to explore a broad range of optional modules, allowing you the freedom to develop your study pathway to reflect your interests.

You will complete the course in one year, studying September to September and taking a combination of required and optional modules totalling 180 credits, including 60 credits that will come from an individual project.

Teaching

We use lectures, seminars and group tutorials to deliver most of the modules on the course. You will also be expected to undertake a significant amount of independent study.

You are expected to spend approximately 10 hours work per credit for each module you attend in your degree, e.g. 150 hours work for a 15-credit module. These hours cover every aspect of the module.

Assessment

The primary method of assessment for this course is a combination of written examinations, essays, coursework and individual or group projects and oral presentations. The individual project will be assessed through a 15,000-word report.
