Course summary
Course overview
On this well-established MSc programme, you will develop advanced knowledge and skills in key aspects of microelectronic systems. The course content is updated annually to maintain industry relevance and to reflect the latest developments in the industry.
Introduction
We cover the following core (compulsory) topics during the MSc: embedded computer systems, digital system design, IC design, microprocessor systems, research skills and project management.
The course content also covers digital design techniques, you will be introduced to materials used in microelectronics, and develop an understanding of designing advanced embedded computer systems – along with a module that will help you to develop the practical skills to develop your final project in semester three.
You’ll be able to develop your specialism through optional modules, where you can learn the fundamentals of image processing, the principles of communications networks, the theoretical and practical aspects of parallel programming for multi-core architectures, and an introduction to electrical plasma and how it can be used in microelectronics.
Part-time study is in cooperation with the students’ employers. Please contact the Programme Director before applying.
