About this course LJMU's Wireless Communications MSc meets the requirements and significant demand for postgraduates in this exciting field, both within the UK and international markets. Study at one of the UK's leading Engineering Departments Enrol on a programme informed by internationally-acclaimed research from LJMU's Electrical and Electronic Engineering Research Centre Postgraduates of this course are highly sought after by major UK and international employers This programme is available as a standard full-time Master's one-year programme (180 credits) or as an extended full-time Master's 20-month programme (240 credits). In both versions, in semester one and two, you will study full-time at LJMU completing the taught modules. If you are on the one-year programme, you will complete your Dissertation over the summer. If you are on the 20-month programme, you will undertake the Group Design Project and your Dissertation in the second year. Why should I choose the 20-month route? This route is designed for international students who wish to apply their knowledge to professional practice in the UK Industrial organisations across all sectors have identified a gap in the market for Engineers with good leadership and interpersonal skills in addition to their technical abilities. The Group Design Project will encompass the wider aspects of social, economic, political, legislative, environmental, cultural, ethical and sustainability issues required in the modern environment. This route will equip you with the transferrable project management skills needed to excel in your chosen career. You will work in groups and meet regularly with an academic supervisor and any internal or external stakeholders in order to develop an effective team-working ethic. You will present your work through regular meetings with your supervisor as well as submitting progress reports and oral presentations. In this way you will have the chance to hone your communicative skills and leave University ready for the workplace.
This module aims to cultivate an advanced understanding of techniques and practical experience in industry-oriented applications of digital signal processing (DSP). It is aligned with several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including Good Health and Wellbeing, Affordable and Clean Energy, Industry, Innovation, Infrastructure, Sustainable Cities and Communities, and Responsible Consumption and Production.
This module enhances students' knowledge and technical skills in the field of digital communications. It provides them with a comprehensive understanding of the intricate interplay between bandwidth, modulation, coding, noise, interference, and the resultant effective data transfer rate. This knowledge equips them to excel in the realm of digital communications.
This module will enable you to apply engineering, technology and scientific knowledge to a real-world design problem.
This project module provides you the opportunity to demonstrate your ability to drive your own deep/thorough investigation, undertake high quality academic research and demonstrate critical evaluation of your results.
This module will introduce you to Matlab coding for scientific computation, system modelling, and system simulation using Simulink.
This module will help you to develop an awareness of the legal and ethical framework surrounding the activities of a professional engineer. You will also gain an awareness of the Emotional Competence Framework for a professional engineer. This will help you to develop a specific set of personal and social competency skills appropriate for a professional engineer, such as adaptability, creativity diversification, leveraging diversity, political awareness, leadership and team capabilities.
This module empowers students to design and analyse telecommunications systems while critically evaluating available choices. It delves into the essential components of telecommunication systems and the associated design considerations, aligning with UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals, including Good Health and Wellbeing, Quality Education, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Partnerships for the Goals.
The module will help prepare you to undertake your own research project and deliver the required skill set for successful completion of your investigations.
Within this module you will have the chance to carry out an extended period of work experience at an approved partner that will complement your programme of study at LJMU. This will give you the opportunity to develop professional skills relevant to your programme of study as well as the attitude and behaviours necessary for employment in a diverse and changing environment.
