Key themes
You’ll study key technical areas including digital electronics, electrical energy systems, communication engineering, system on chip (SoC) design and digital signal processing (DSP). You’ll also have the option to select from specialist modules in areas including robotics and artificial intelligence (AI).
Industry-standard approaches and lab equipment are used in these modules, and tutorial examples use realistic and relevant problems to enhance your understanding of contemporary requirements.
As well as improving your technical skills and knowledge, we also focus on building wider professional skills, such as planning, research techniques and promoting innovation.
Course support
You’ll be supported in your learning journey towards highly skilled, graduate-level employment. This includes:
-
Access to our student support triangle to help with your personal, academic and career development.
-
Access to our Skills Centre with one-on-ones, webinars and online resources, where you can get help with planning and structuring your assignments.
Live projects
Throughout the course, you’ll engage in exciting live projects, applying your knowledge and skills to real-world scenarios, design challenges and problem-solving tasks.
You’ll also gain experience in numerical modelling of free space optical communication systems. This requires building an understanding of digital communication, optical wireless communication and digital signal processing.
Work placements
You’ll have the opportunity to go on a work placement for up to 12 months as part of the course. You’ll be supported in finding placements and you’d apply for a vacancy as you would a job. We can also support you with CV writing, interview skills and applications.
Networking opportunities
You’ll be able to attend scheduled events across the academic year – meeting industry partners, employers, researchers and alumni. Past events have included the alumni careers panel, careers fair, winter research poster event, SHU Racing launch and EngFest.
