School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science

Telecommunication and Wireless Systems

MSc ( 1 year Full-time / 2 years Part-time )

Overview

The internet, which is based on telecommunications networks, has developed at an astounding rate, connecting people in ways that we could never have imagined. This new programme is for students who want to pursue a career shaping and defining the new generation of converged networks, responding to the rapid developments in telecommunication systems, such as social networking, seamless mobility, mobile data, and the proliferation of applications for mobile and handheld devices. It will educate the next generation of network engineers in the fundamental science, mathematics and key technologies that underpin global networking.

Why study your MSc in Telecommunication Systems at Queen Mary?

The School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science is rated in the top 20 universities in the UK for studying computer science and electronic engineering. We are internationally recognised for our pioneering and ground-breaking research, and innovative public engagement programme.

This programme:
•    responds to the rapid developments in telecommunication systems, such as social networking, seamless mobility, mobile data, and the proliferation of applications for mobile and handheld devices.
•    teaches the Java programming foundations for network and services design, the technological foundations of converged, all-packet networks, and current mobile networks from WCDMA 3G to LTE and LTE-Advanced.
•    enables you to develop an extensive understanding of 21st Century networks, current mobile and WLAN technologies, software for network and services design, network modelling, sensors and the Internet of Things, security and authentication, mobile services, next generation mobile technologies.

We have a long history of successfully offering postgraduate programmes in Telecommunications and in Wireless Networks. We have recently recruited new staff who are international experts in the fields of converged all-IP networks with particular knowledge in modelling, measurements and QoE, in middleware and in wireless networking.

Our research-led approach

Your tuition will be delivered by field leading academics engaged in world class research projects in collaboration with industry, external institutions and research councils.

Our strong links with industry

•    We have collaborations, partnerships, industrial placement schemes and public engagement programmes with a variety of organisations, including Vodafone, Google, IBM, BT, NASA, BBC and Microsoft
•    Full-time MSc with Industrial Experience option available on our taught MSc programmes. You have the option to complete over two years, with a year of work experience in industry.
•    Industrial projects scheme  - To support industrial experience development, you can to do your final project in collaboration with an industrial partner. While it is your responsibility to find and secure a partner for collaboration, we provide support with your application process and review the project for suitability

Facilities

Our students have access to our RIBA-award-winning Informatics Teaching Laboratory (ITL), which offers over 300 workstations, specialist software and powerful servers, interconnected by high-bandwidth networks. All the systems are accessible remotely, with wireless networking across the campus.

To support our research led teaching, we also have specialist laboratories in multimedia, digital signal processing, antennas and electroencephalography (EEC) and network quality.

We recently completed a £2m development of new experimental facilities in Antennas. The Antennas Measurement Lab (AML) specialises in high quality measurements for the purposes of antenna design. It is one of the most comprehensive in a European university. It includes a Microwave CATR reflector, a general purpose anechoic chamber and a body-centric wireless sensor lab. MSc students would typically only use this lab during their final project.

We formed the Interdisciplinary Informatics Hub in Collaboration with the Schools of Biological and Chemical Sciences and Mathematical Sciences. These laboratories provided a meeting place for postgraduates from the three Schools to interact and exchange ideas.

Accreditation

The Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) brings over 25 years' experience of programme accreditation against professional standards for IEng and CEng status and can help you with achieving professional registration.

This programme is CEng accredited and fulfils the educational requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer when presented with a CEng accredited Bachelors programme.
