Master of Science - Electronic and Electrical Engineering with Professional Placement / Project

This degree will equip students to have skills in both hardware/software and to be able to tackle the engineering of smart devices, Internet of Things and Power Electronics systems. The rapid pace of technological change requires a broad educational background, to be able to design and maintain these smart devices and IoT systems. This degree combines the core elements of Electronic Engineering where hardware inhabits, with cybersecurity and robotics, allowing the student to pull together hardware and software aspects needed to understand modern technology. Smart devices have considerable influence on how we life is lived, from the pervasive mobile phone to the emerging driverless vehicles. Intelligent Systems are enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, a key ingredient of this MSc, with multiple sensors feeding data over networks, to be processed on the cloud. Electronic and Electrical Engineering graduates are in high demand, and the University of Chester is committed to helping students meet the challenge of gaining job oriented skills by teaching simultaneously the underpinning theory and practical engineering applications. The University of Chester's strong local links with industry will provide students with substantial opportunities for practical work experience. The University of Chester has modern labs for control engineering, power electronics, embedded systems, cybersecurity and robotics where students are exposed to industrially relevant software and hardware, making them ready for employment.
