                            MSc in Electronics

The MSc course in Electronics at Queen's University has been running for more than thirty years aiming for the balance of academic sophistication and practical skills needed in industrial and practical environment.

All the topics offered on the course are regularly revised and updated to provide adequate extended training, essential for modern applications in research or industry.  Students are required to choose a set of topics and have the opportunity to specialise in a particular area of their choice. 

Specialisation may be undertaken in Integrated Circuit Design, Microelectronics, High Frequency Electronic Techniques, Telcommunications, Digital Control Systems and Computer Systems.

The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, which runs the MSc in Electronics course, has many internationally recognised specialists in the above areas and the School has been given the highest grading of 5 for research and academic achievements in the UK.  Excellent facilities for computing and laboratory work are provided.

It can be taken as a one year full-time course or over three years part-time.   A shorter course, the Diploma in Information Engineering, can be completed in seven months full-time or two years part-time.

Individual modules may also be taken for professional development.

Course Structure

The MSc course in Electronics emphasizes modern developments in microelectronics, microprocessor and general computer systems, and communications.  The course consists of six lecture topics selected from the list below, together with an extended project which is often carried out in partnership with industry.

The course is normally full-time.  Students are required to take six of a wide range of options on offer.  The course starts at the end of September and lasts 12 months.  Lectures are given during the first semester and part of the second semester, with the examination on this part of the course being held after 7 months (in May).  After the examination students work full-time on a long project and submit a dissertation in October.    

Suitably qualified engineers and scientists wishing to update their knowledge of modern electronics, may complete the course on a part-time basis, over a period of two or three years.  The student is required to take at least two topics per year and meet the project requirements.  (Note: Individual modules may also be taken as part of an engineer's Continuing Professional Development programme.  The modules are registered with the Institution of Electrical Engineering for this purpose)
