About the course

Course overview

Our MSc in Communications and Information Engineering allows students to gain an in- depth understanding of the theoretic underpinnings alongside the physical-layer aspects of wireless and optional communication systems.

You’ll cover developments in wireless network architectures and deployment (such as 4G/5G/6G communication systems) and have the opportunity to study digital multimedia storage and communication technologies, data analytics and data mining in terms of algorithms and goals in real-world problems. Cross-discipline options from the Department of Computer Science offer key insights into approaches for dealing with the explosion in data collected in modern society (‘Big Data’).

Entry Requirements

A minimum 2:1 UK Honours degree or equivalent international qualification, in an engineering, physical sciences or mathematical subject.

Post A2 Level (or equivalent) knowledge in Mathematics, covering topics such as linear algebra, calculus and analysis, and including differential equations.

We will consider lower qualifications on a case-by-case basis, particularly when the applicant can evidence relevant employment, practical experience or strong performance in undergraduate modules.

Depending on your overall academic profile, we may require you to take a mathematical skills test.
