Description
There is a great shortage of skilled radio frequency (RF) and microwave engineers in industry, at the present time. However, the demand for the implementation of conceptually new wireless systems exists.
We cover a range of modern theory and techniques accompanied by other modules that consider communication systems allied to the students interests. We also include all ranges of wireless frequencies and sizes of RF and microwave devices, from the lowest frequencies used in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems through to systems used at microwave frequencies that can have application in satellite communication systems.
Theoretical concepts including radio design and radio systems are established in the lectures, which are complemented by practical implementation in the laboratory sessions. Computer-aided design (CAD) is an essential feature of modern RF and microwave, so students are also given hands-on experience of industry-standard software. A wide range of facilities and expertise is available that is accessed via student projects.

Requirements
The programmes are intended for good honours graduates of mathematics, computing, physical sciences and engineering disciplines. Our normal entry level is a minimum of a Lower Second or equivalent; however, with industrial experience, we can be flexible in our entry requirements.
If your first language is not English, we will require some evidence of your proficiency in the English language. Applicants must be able to demonstrate an ability to understand and express themselves in both written and spoken English. You may be required to take an approved proficiency test examination and/or attend a course of English language study before admission.
The following qualifications/tests are suitable as evidence that you meet our minimum level of competence:
* Cambridge Proficiency Examination (Grade C)
* GCSE/GCE Ordinary Level in English (Grade C)
* International English Language Testing System (IELTS) (Band 6)
* NEAB Test in English
* Test in English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) (score of 550 on the paper-based test or 213 on the computer-based test)
* AEB Test in English for Educational Purposes (Grade III)
