MSc Analogue and Digital Integrated Circuit Design

Course overview: Gain in-depth knowledge of analogue, mixed signal and digital circuits on this MSc course for future integrated circuit (IC) designers. Consider the practical issues of device-level design and system-level performance requirements, as well as examine low power circuits and embedded systems. You'll be taught through a blend of lectures, tutorials and practical laboratory sessions, and have the opportunity to design a complex digital VLSI from conception to fabrication. You'll also apply your skills to a practical problem via an individual research project, in an area of your interest. This course gives you the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills to become an integrated circuit designer within a range of industries, or go onto further research. Professional accreditation: Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEngBSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to fully meet the CEng registration educational requirements.

First-Class Honours in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related subject with a substantial Electrical/Electronic Engineering component.
