Our specialist electronic systems course, MEng Telecommunication Engineering, has a particular emphasis on radio frequency circuits and systems, analogue and data communications and computer networks, and the communication of audio-visual information. We also include modules in traditional electronics such as signal processing, circuit design, processors and software. In the final year, more advanced aspects of telecommunication systems are studied, including laboratories with optical fibre and millimetre wave transmission systems. All students taking our BEng and existing MEng courses can apply to be student members of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. For new degrees we apply for interim accreditation. If you join as a student member you will be automatically transferred to the class of Member of the IET (MIEE) when you graduate. After some further study (for example an MSc) and a number of years in a responsible position (meaning you will typically be in your early thirties), you can apply to be become a Chartered Engineer.

Our courses help you develop the graduate capabilities that employers value. You learn to communicate effectively, orally and in writing. You develop strong analytical, numerical and ICT skills, learn to work as part of a team and on your own, and know how to manage your time effectively and meet deadlines. You develop your critical thinking abilities, and become more adaptable and agile in your thinking. We stimulate your imagination through coursework and project work, while specialist modules enable you to acquire all the technical knowledge and skills needed to have a positive influence on society as a professional twenty-first century engineer. In addition, our BEng Telecommunication Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
