What you will study

Our MSc will enable you to understand the engineering aspects of this rapidly developing field, as well as emerging systems:

Compulsory modules cover Fundamentals of Machine Learning for Communications, Wireless Communication Principles, and Network Planning and Management.
Optional modules allow for a variety of specialisation in Artificial Intelligence of Things and Data and Internet Networking, Radio Frequency Engineering and Antennas and Propagation, Advanced Wireless Techniques, Cloud Computing, and Network Security and Cloud Security.

We’re home to the world’s largest academic research group in 5G and 6G communications. Its founding members include the UK’s major mobile operators, so you’ll be exposed to advanced communications and study modules.
