Master of Engineering in Electronic and Communication Engineering

The Master of Engineering in Electronic and Communication Engineering in Communication and Media is offered by University of York.

Program Length: 4 YEARS.

Description


Telephone, radio, satellite communications, the internet, mobile phones – each new development has revolutionised the way we live and the way we think about our world. 

Electronic communications encompass a wide range of technologies from fibre-optics to mobile technology, from satellite engineering to the internet, and more.

The student will be prepare to succeed in a fast-paced, technologically complex world of global-scale projects and ever-increasing demands for solutions and innovation. Applicants will work with world-class researchers who are advancing our understanding of electronics every day, and draw on the expertise of the Communications Research Group.

The MEng will cement your knowledge of fundamental principles and introduce students to advanced concepts. The applicants experience a large team software engineering project, as well as managing a substantial individual project, allowing you to develop the knowledge and skills required to become a leader in the industry. With an increased choice of advanced option modules, you'll have the opportunity to engage with world-class research and work with our latest innovative technology.

Students who complete this course will be able to:


  • Conduct research in applied electronic and communications engineering to advance the state of knowledge in algorithms, devices and systems. 
  • Extract and critically evaluate data from complex systems through analytical and computational methods and modelling. 
  • Create innovative and optimised designs to address real-world problems involving electronic and communications hardware and software by synthesising ideas into engineering specifications.
