H6X5 MSc Telecommunications (Networks) (12 months)
This degree is also available as:
- a part-time distance learning degree
Part-time degrees are twice as long as the full-time degree.
This programme provides postgraduate training in the principles and applications of telecommunications, particularly in the way the subject is moving towards integrating voice and data applications with the Internet. It builds on the internationally acknowledged research expertise of our staff, as well the substantial amount of teaching that was provided by staff on the University of London BT MSc in Telecommunications Engineering. This pathway puts emphasis on telecommunications technologies, especially mobile technologies.
Assessment
All modules are examined through a combination of coursework and written examinations taken in May/June. To obtain an MSc, students must gain passes in six of the eight modules taken with an overall average of 50 per cent.
In addition to the above, the MSc requires that a satisfactory individual project be completed. MSc students who do not pass the written examinations are only allowed to attempt the project after passing resit examinations the following May.
Entry requirements
You should have a first or upper second class degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related discipline; some programming experience (preferably an object orientated language) such as C or C++, and a basic knowledge of telecommunications networks. Applicants with unrelated degrees will be considered if there is evidence of significant industrial experience. Applicants with lower second class degrees may be considered if the undergraduate degree specialised in relevant subjects.
Careers
At the end of the programme, you will be equipped with the skills needed for a wide range of jobs in the expanding telecommunications industry, from designing infrastructure and services for the new 3G mobile networks to working on the expansion of the Internet with new technologies and protocols. Recent graduate destinations includes Senior Projects Officer, Islamic Development Bank; Engineer, Nokia Siemens Network Pvt.
