One year full-time, two years part-time by distance learning

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 given by staff on the University of London BT MSc in Telecommunications Engineering. This pathway puts emphasis on telecommunications technologies, especially mobile technologies.

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.
