MSc Computer Engineering
The University of Essex is proud to launch the first MSc in
Computer Engineering in UK. Computer engineering is a field of study that
encompasses the fundamental principles, methods, and modern tools for the design
and implementation of advanced computing systems. Advances in technology mean
that smaller and higher-performance computer systems permeating into a wide
range of applications, from communication systems to consumer products and
common household appliances.
Our MSc in Computer Engineering course provides a balanced
perspective of both hardware and software elements of computing systems, and
their relative design trade-offs and applications. It will build on your
knowledge in mathematics, science, and engineering to ensure you have a sound
knowledge foundation. Laboratory experiences will enable you to understand
experimental design and simulation techniques.
Our School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering is
internationally leading school in the fields of computer engineering. Students
joining this course will have access to unique computer engineering platforms
including the intelligent Flat (iSpace), the Robotics Arena and the networked
intelligent campus (iCampus) in addition to advanced networking and multimedia
labs.
Graduates of this course will study hardware-software
integration, advanced embedded systems design, advanced distributed computer
systems, advanced programming and data bases and advanced networks and
communication systems. The course has a strong application focus where students
will have the chance to apply their knowledge in various computer engineering
domains including computer games, embedded and hardware systems, robotics and
intelligent industrial systems and control, mobile applications, video coding,
networking and communications.
Upon graduation from this course, the student will be highly
trained in the area computer engineering and its applications. This will open
wide employment opportunities for the graduate in the following areas:
-
In heavy industries (like oil industries,
steel industries, chemical industries , water treatment, car
industries, etc) aiming to develop advanced computer systems and
control.
-
In hardware companies to design and develop
microprocessors, personal computers, and supercomputers.
-
In communication and mobile phone companies
aiming to design advanced computer systems for communications
systems.
-
In large computer and microelectronics
companies to write software and firmware for embedded
microcontrollers, designing VLSI chips, designing analog
sensors, designing mixed signal circuit boards, and designing
operating systems.
-
In embedded system companies aiming to develop
advanced computer systems, and mobile applications and phones
-
In banks and businesses aiming to design
intelligent distributed systems to serve their various
operations.
-
In computer games companies aiming to design
advanced computer games.
The Course will be composed of the following modules:
Together with two of the following optional modules:
MSc Industry-based Project and Dissertation
With the School's approval, a student may take the MSc Industry-based Project
and Dissertation (CE911-7-SU)
as an alternative to
CE901-7-SU. This is designed to cater for students who are either taking the
MSc whilst in employment, or who have secured industrial sponsorship in
connection with their studies.
