Embedded systems are at the heart of many engineering devices and you will investigate how they are designed and implemented in hardware and software. You will learn how to critically understand and apply circuit and system simulation techniques, with an emphasis on products that incorporate embedded technology. You will also understand the design of embedded systems, including microcontroller architectures and real-time embedded hardware operating systems.
The MSc Embedded Systems Design degree involves an 18-week project, which you may conduct in industry and could lead to job opportunities. You can also complete industrial case studies and be involved in ‘live’ mini-projects. If you are a part-time student working in the electronics industry, you may be able to relate your major project to an aspect of your company’s work.
Possible Career Options
Many industries need specialists in embedded systems design and by the time you graduate, your skills and knowledge will be highly desired by employers. Careers are available in industrial and technology sectors such as embedded systems hardware or software development, telecommunications implementations, instrumentation, general real-time device applications and signal processing development.
MSc Modules:
* MSc Major Project
* Electronic System Design (MSc)
* Product Management and Integrating Case Studies
* Embedded Hardware Operating Systems (MSc)
* Digital System Design Using VHDL
