Program Description

This accredited course will provide you with the opportunity to develop practical skills and theoretical knowledge in embedded systems engineering, including embedded systems programming, embedded operating systems, and embedded hardware engineering as well as advanced electronics including Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) based on digital system design, image and signal processing, digital communications, wireless intelligent systems, and robotics

Embedded systems are computing devices that perform dedicated functions or are designed for use with specific embedded software applications.

• Embedded systems engineering is a discipline which designs and implements hardware and software of embedded systems. To name a few, they are crucial to mobile communications, Internet of Things (IoT), household robots and video game consoles.
• The course is designed for graduates with an electronics and computing background. It can provide a leading-edge MSc degree education in embedded systems engineering.
• The technical focus of the course concentrates on a combination of advanced electronics including FPGA based on digital system design, image and signal processing, digital communications, wireless intelligent systems, and robotics as well as the subject specific knowledge in embedded systems including embedded systems programming, embedded operating systems, and embedded hardware engineering.
• An emphasis on applied technical work can strengthen the engineering development skills of students from an academic background. Such work can provide the demonstrable expertise necessary to help secure professional level employment in related industries.
• You will have the option to apply for a ‘professional work placement’ opportunity2, designed to further develop your skills and knowledge with the aim of maximising your employability prospects. See modules for more information.

Upon successful completion of this course, you will have knowledge of:

• Principles of embedded systems engineering and their relationships to leading-edge, real-world applications.
• Advanced analysis and design tools and processes relevant to embedded microelectronics and communications.
• The implementation and critical evaluation of design solutions through simulation and practical applications.
• The main approaches to research design, sampling and analysis appropriate to construct research questions or hypotheses.

You will be able to:

• Conceptualise complex technical aspects of embedded systems engineering.
• Conduct detailed and systematic technical analyses of aspects of embedded systems engineering.
• Devise technical solutions to problems in the design and implementation of embedded systems engineering.
• Critically evaluate literature and solutions relating to problems arising in the design and implementation aspects of embedded systems engineering.
• Select, apply and critically appraise tools and techniques of advanced analysis and design.
• Implement appropriate software and hardware solutions and simulations and critically evaluate the outcomes.

Admission Requirements

• An applicant for the course will normally be expected to possess at least one of the following:
  • A minimum of a second-class honour’s degree in a relevant subject such as electronic engineering or physics.
  • A lower qualification plus appropriate and relevant experience at a professional level.
  • Satisfactory independent evidence of working for several years in a position that would normally be occupied by an honour's graduate in a relevant area (such as the engineering sector), which would lead to gaining benefit from the course.
• General Requirement :-
  • Indian Students-Students must achieve 60% in a 3 Year Undergraduate Degree or 55% in a 4 Year.Undergraduate Degree Students from the following Universities will be considered with 55% in a 3 Year Undergraduate Degree (unless applying for Health and Life Science courses): Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai (Madras), Anna, Amity, Andhra Pradesh, Aligarh Muslim, Pune, Bangalore and JNTU.
  • Arab Students-Students who hold a Bachelor’s Degree should have an average grade of 60% or above. Students who have an average grade of 70% or CGPA of 2.5 out of 4 for the Postgraduate Research programmes with a satisfactory research proposal.
