Master of Philosophy - Electronic Systems Engineering

The research activity and supervision for the MPhil in Electronic Systems Engineering is concentrated in several principal research areas, including audio and video networking, multimedia architectures and applications, data communications and networking, RF engineering, radio, radar and electromagnetics, propagation, video, image processing, and computer vision. These cross-disciplinary projects draw on the expertise of electronic engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, physicists, and psychologists.

This institution is recognized as one of the largest and best-resourced schools in the UK. Its work is supported by extensive networked computer facilities and software aids, along with a wide range of test and instrumentation equipment. The research encompasses various topics, from semiconductor device physics, the theory of computation, and the philosophy of computer science to computational intelligence, computer games, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Most research groups are based around laboratories that offer world-class facilities. The impressive external research funding amounts to multi-million pounds per year, and the institution participates in several EU initiatives while undertaking projects under contract with numerous outside bodies, including government and industrial organizations.
