Philosophy

The Master in Telecommunication Engineering (MTE) programme is two year course which provides intensive preparation for professional practice in the high technology aspects of telecommunications engineering. It is designed to serve the needs of engineers who wish to continue their education.

Objectives
 
The principal aim of the course is to enable currently practicing engineers and scientist to upgrade their professional qualifications in response to rapid changes in telecommunications and associated computer technology. It is also intended to permit recent graduates, usually from other universities, to enhance their first qualification with studies in telecommunications

The course provides a mix of subjects permitting students to develop an understanding of the interaction of the various layers of modern telecommunication systems. All subjects in the course 
use case studies and exercises to build understanding of the concepts and theoretical principles.

The programme will draw upon a number of subjects to gain understanding of telecommunication systems as a whole. In particular, it will develop an understanding of specification, selection, performance, commissioning and operation of telecommunication systems.

Course Organization

The programme is of a modular structure with core modules in Telecommunication Engineering. Students will also undertake a substantial project during the second half of the programme, and more often, it should be often based in or related to an industry. Assessment is based on a combination of formal examination, course work, case study reports and project work C.
