Advanced Electronic Techniques

Course duration: Full-time, 1 year. Part-time, 2-3 years

Location: Wrexham

Start month: September

The design of modern electronics systems requires knowledge and skills over a wide range of topics, covering analogue and digital electronics in an intelligent-device centred environment, plus a vision of future innovations. Use your creativity combined with your electronics knowledge to contribute to and enhance an ever-changing electronic future.

If you want to be at the heart of electronic invention, the MSc Advanced Electronic Techniques is ideal. This course provides core analytical studies covering three key areas of electronics:

• advanced analogue electronics (including radio frequency design)
• embedded digital system design (microprocessors and programmable gate arrays) and
• automatic-test system design

There are also options covering the exciting fields of image and digital processing or control systems.

The dissertation (one-third of the course time) allows you to develop a specialist interest you may have in order to become an expert in that subject.

Key Facts

• Excellent student support available within a learning/research environment
• Gain exposure to cutting edge technological development in electronics
• State-of-the-art IT facilities and analytical tools support the taught and research elements of the degree

Career Opportunities

The course is ideal if you are a graduate already working in electronics and wanting to update your skills to further your career opportunities. It is also suitable if you’re a recent graduate looking to gain higher skills, or if you are a graduate from a related discipline but want a change of career direction. On completion of the MSc Advanced Electronic Techniques, you will be able to progress to a job as an electronics design engineer at an advanced level. This may involve academic research, including study at doctoral level.
