Telecommunications and Data Communications MSc degrees
-
MSc
Multimedia Networking you gain hands on
experience with multimedia content
production in our broadcast quality studios,
then take the content that you create and
learn how to deliver it over the network.
-
MSc
in Electronic Engineering enables
students to acquire the essential knowledge,
skills, competency, and critical awareness
necessary for a rewarding career in the
electronics industry.
-
MSc Computer Networks and Security form
the underlying infrastructure for the
information society of the twenty-first
century, and there is a continual need for
well- qualified engineers with
the appropriate background and expertise to
work in this area.
-
MSc Telecommunication and Information
Systems are the flagship degree in this
category, focussing on the related
disciplines of telecommunications and data
communications respectively.
Multimedia is increasingly moving from traditional broadcast and playback
systems, such as DVD or Blu-Ray, to content that is streamed or delivered
directly over the network, so our MSc Multimedia Networking will equip you to
contribute to this exciting new world of media delivery. You gain hands on
experience with multimedia content production in our broadcast quality studios,
then take the content that you create and learn how to deliver it over the
network.
Our world of multimedia delivery is increasingly becoming more complex,
meaning our course gives you the skills and knowledge to understand multimedia
delivery using content delivery networks and learn how multimedia is compressed
and transcoded for transmission. Our wide range of supporting modules cover
aspects such as modern computer networking and signal processing. We prepare
graduates to enter employment in a range of roles related to multimedia delivery
including engineering within the broadcast industry and online content
providers.

Computer
networks form the underlying infrastructure for the information society of
the twenty-first century, and there is a continual need for well- qualified
engineers with the appropriate background and expertise to work in this area.
Additionally, securing networks, and the systems they serve, is becoming
increasingly a vital skill. The MSc in Computer Networks and Security provides
an in-depth education on computer networks, the applications that use them and
securing these systems. It provides a thorough understanding of computer
networking technologies and infrastructure, both existing and emerging;
it examines services and applications that operate over computer networks; and
it provides experience of the practicalities of setting up, operating and
securing these networks.

The MSc in Electronics enables students
to acquire the essential knowledge, skills,
competency, and critical awareness necessary
for a rewarding career in the electronics
industry. A Master’s degree in Electronics
at Essex prepares students for a career in
analogue and digital circuit design; an area
with a major skills shortage worldwide, but
particularly in the UK. The content of this
course is far-reaching and includes theory,
practice, simulation and realisation
underpinned by the School’s 40 years of
expertise in electronics and
telecommunications.
The degree brings together our teaching, research and
industrial contacts to form a vocational offering with
enhanced postgraduate employability. Students will be
equipped with skills in: analogue design; digital design;
signal processing; CAD; time domain analysis; frequency
domain analysis; IC design; PCB manufacture; fault analysis;
electronic device principles; embedded processing; DSPs and
fast prototyping. The course is modular with compulsory as
well as optional modules allowing students to tailor their
qualification according to their interests within the
discipline. Compulsory options include: Signals and Systems;
DSPs, Programming; Embedded Systems; Design and Integration;
Professional Practice and Research Methodology. Options
include: Transmission Systems; Networking Principles;
Intelligent Systems and Robotics; Embedded System Design;
Mathematical Research Techniques; Fuzzy Logic and Hybrid
Systems.
All of the acquired knowledge culminates in the MSc
project which will see the design, simulation, construction,
testing and manufacture of a complex electronic system aimed
at the industrial or consumer markets. There are career
opportunities for well-qualified electronics design
engineers in the: avionics, automotive, entertainment and
consumer product markets, within companies such as:
Siemens, Fujitsu, Sony, Toshiba, Nokia, Samsung, LG, Apple,
Microsoft, Intel, Dell, Sharp, Cannon, Acer, Levono,
Hitachi, Epson, Philips, Nikon, Pioneer, TCL, JVC etc. are
all searching for competent designers. A large number of
careers are also available through local SMEs geographically
close to Essex who account for a significant proportion of
the workforce both in the UK and on the continent.
Telecommunication systems pervade modern society, providing the communication
infrastructure for the telephony and data services seen around us, and are now
expanding into areas normally associated with broadcasting. Furthermore, the
range of technologies employed in these systems is evolving rapidly; rather than
traditional copper, telecommunication networks are now a hybrid mix of optical,
wired and wireless networks, and employ both circuit- switched and
packet-switched protocols. This MSc in Telecommunication and Information Systems
provides a sound theoretical underpinning to the technologies employed in both
legacy and modern telecommunication systems, at the levels of hardware,
protocols and applications.
