Programme Description
You´ll specialise in control and instrumentation, and develop the skills and knowledge you´ll need to apply for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng) when you graduate.
Chartered Engineers use a range of fundamental scientific principles to:
* research, develop and apply new technologies
* develop and promote advanced designs and design methods
* introduce new and more efficient production techniques
* initiate marketing and construction concepts
* pioneer new engineering services and management methods.
This course is flexible, so you´ll have lots of choice in the specialist subject modules you take and the ways you learn. So you´ll study some modules through lectures and tutorials, some online and others in your workplace. You´ll study both on your own and as part of a group. And your project work will give you experience of working in teams.
If your undergraduate degree is not accredited by the Engineering Council as part of their requirements for the CEng, or you´re unsure about studying a postgraduate course, you can do the Preparatory Programme - Preparing for Postgraduate Study in Arts, Design and Technology (Engineering) - before you start the MSc. If you´re an international student you can combine this with an appropriate English course if you need to reach the international entry requirements.
You can study this course full time or part time.
When you graduate you´ll have lots of opportunities available to you. You´ll be competent in the skills and knowledge employers are looking for in many industry sectors, including the motor vehicle, manufacturing, aerospace, and petrochemical industries. There´s currently a shortage of staff who can understand and apply current technology, and design and produce novel measurement and control systems. So you´ll be able to move into a responsible job with lots of professional satisfaction.

You´ll look at the most up-to-date knowledge and practice in both control and instrumentation. And you´ll build up an in depth understanding of the essentials of both in the Control Systems, and Electronic Instrumentation modules. You´ll then apply these principles to the latest in technology in the Intelligent Instrumentation, and Digital Control Systems modules.
You´ll be able to combine control and instrumentation in the two optional modules. In the Embedded Systems module, you´ll create integrated measurement and control systems based around tiny computers in the form of microcontrollers. And in the Industrial Electronics module, you´ll explore how instrumentation and control systems are applied in small or large scale industrial environments, in the latter taking into consideration the challenge of distributed sensing and control.
In your final module you´ll apply your knowledge and skills in technology, management and research methods, to complete an in depth study of a topic that interests you.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
More informationRequirements
You´ll normally need an appropriate engineering or science undergraduate degree (2:2 or above) or equivalent, an equivalent professional qualification, or significant industrial or professional experience following your initial qualification.
If English is not your first language, you´ll also need an IELTS score of 6.5 or equivalent.
