Telecommunications systems underpin the connected world, enabling everything from mobile communications and broadband networks to the infrastructure that supports the internet of things and next-generation wireless standards. As these technologies continue to evolve at pace, the demand for engineers who understand them in depth has never been stronger.
This MSc builds your knowledge of modern telecommunication systems from the physical layer through to the application layer. The course covers a wide range of topics including telecommunications systems, communications technologies, network design and planning, data networks and architectures, next-generation network architecture and the business aspects of telecommunications. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the key technologies, network architectures and systems that make up a modern telecom network.
The course is continuously updated to reflect the rapid pace of change in the field. You will learn about the most current developments in areas including IoT, 6G, and wireless and optical communications, taught by researchers who are active at the forefront of these areas and supported by regular contributions from industry and government specialists.
This MSc develops the technical knowledge and practical skills needed to work across a broad range of telecommunications disciplines. You will graduate with in-depth expertise in telecommunications systems, network design and planning, wireless communications, and next-generation network architectures, giving you a strong foundation for a specialist career in the field.
Alongside technical expertise, the course develops the broader skills that employers consistently value: analytical thinking, the ability to tackle complex problems systematically, clear communication of technical findings, and confidence working both independently and as part of a team. Practical assignments and design exercises develop your ability to apply theory to real engineering challenges.
Industry guest lectures and engagement opportunities throughout the year further develop your professional network and give you insight into the range of careers available to graduates in telecommunications.
Graduates of this MSc go on to careers across telecommunications, network engineering, systems architecture, consultancy and research. The combination of technical depth and practical experience developed on the course prepares graduates well for roles including network engineer, telecoms engineer, consultant and systems architect, across a wide range of organisations from established technology companies to innovative startups and government bodies.
Graduates of this course have gone on to work at Apple, Microsoft and Huawei Technologies.
