Course content

You’ll undertake eight modules and an MSc project. All modules are designed for practical application, so you’ll be work-ready on completion of the course.

Modules cover a range of analogue and digital electronics covering low carbon and renewable energy, plastic electronics and digital signal processing. You’ll also work on internet of things devices, optical and wireless communications.

There are two types of assessments: practice (also called formative) or formal (also called summative).

Practice assessments do not count towards your final mark. These are your chance to test your understanding – and learn how to improve for the real thing.

You’ll have formal assessments at the end of each module. These could include essays, exams, or portfolios
