Location of University of Leeds
The huge growth of processing power, now available in small power efficient packages has fuelled the digital revolution. All sectors of the economy have been touched by the digital revolution. The growth of tools and techniques within this sector has led to a significant skills shortage, particularly for those trained at the highest level.
This is practically-orientated and advanced postgraduate course in the area of electronics design and applications. It is distinctive in that it provides a strong digital technology core backed up with applications-led modules. Examples of these applications include medical and electronics, e-health, intelligent building design, automotive electronics, retail and commerce. This broad coverage of diverse applications will prepare you for a range of careers in indsutry. Another feature of the course is the substantial amounts of practical work, which will give you confidence with software and digital hardware implementations using microcontrollers, FPGA, DSP devices and general system-on-chip the methodology.
