The objectives of the MRes programme are to equip students with the advanced, technical, professional, and specialized study skills required to conduct state-of-the-art research in the fields of electronic engineering, and to develop a critical awareness of the advanced techniques and technological advances available to conduct such research. Candidates enrolled in the MRes program will gain the necessary competencies for:
- An advanced-level profession including doctoral-level studies and scholarly research;
- active involvement in the creation of novel concepts and methods in electrical engineering;
- Individual responsibility for project management in a supervisory role;
- A commitment to lifelong learning and an understanding of the need of education for continued professional development in order to provide people with the breadth of knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to meet the constantly changing demands of a high-tech industrial environment.
Several UK institutions now offer the MRes degree, which is actively supported by research councils such as the EPRSC. To enable applicants to engage in creative research and development, the main aim of the programme is to provide advanced knowledge in specialised areas of engineering as well as general transferable skills in research and project management. These programmes are designed to meet the advanced skills requirements of companies in these fields.
Depending on future demand and availability of teaching resources, this MRes programme may introduce elective modules to reflect advances and state-of-the-art developments in electronics fields such as advanced mobile communications, embedded systems, wireless sensor networks and chip design. The curriculum consists of compulsory general education courses worth 20 credits and a dissertation worth 160 credits.
NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements.
It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
