For students to consolidate grammatical accuracy and knowledge of vocational and academic lexis in written and spoken English; to further develop critical awareness of features of written and spoken texts such as discourse, register and appropriateness of style; to broaden their range of writing skills to a higher level of fluency and refine usage and command of style and register; gain a better understanding of the need to use clear and consistent systems of referencing and an ability to put such systems into practice.

The aims of this module are to provide a theoretical basis for the analysis of both digital and analogue circuits and to describe the separate properties of analogue and digital circuits. You will experience a wide range of experimental techniques and measurement equipment appropriate to analogue, digital and mixed-signal systems.

This module aims to ensure that students are familiar with the fundamental and advanced features of embedded systems hardware and software design, and to acquaint students with the theory and application of a range of communication transport protocols used in embedded systems. Students will be required undertake the process of creating a complete working embedded system hardware utilising multiple communication protocols. This will require the students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the software engineering best suited for designing embedded systems.

Independent project work is an essential part of Masters level study. The work undertaken within this course will be an individual piece of work. The subject area of the project will be consistent with the philosophy and aims of the chosen individual programme. In all cases the student will be expected to demonstrate significant elements of independent thinking consistent with the expected research content of a Masters level project. The student should also demonstrate the ability to report and present the terms and concepts underpinning the work and results.

The aim of this module is to design power systems in terms of plant ratings and short circuit loading to specified values of performance. Understand the impact of power distribution on communities and society. This module aims to develop an understanding of modern power systems operation and relevant analytical techniques used to evaluate system performance.

This module aims to help students develop the ability to perform research by learning to be critical about other researchers? as well as one?s own work. From there, one will be able to identify a research ?gap? and determine the next steps to be taken, which then leads towards a more specific research plan. More than ever, it is essential to then be able to effectively communicate these research outcomes to the research community and the larger community to ensure the appropriate impact.

This module aims to provide students with the opportunity to investigate, review and reflect upon the nature of modern interfacing and sensing, in order to achieve a desired real-world environment state and corresponding response to stimulus. This will involve gaining a broad knowledge of transducers and sensor systems as well as programmable controllers and associated methodologies.
