Course Structure
The Postgraduate Diploma in Electronic Communications and Computer Engineering is taught on a full-time basis over 9 months.

This course operates on a modular basis and consists of two semesters, during which you will follow a series of taught modules worth 120 credits. Unlike the MSc in Electronic Communications and Computer Engineering, the Postgraduate Diploma does not carry a dissertation requirement.

You will be taught using the latest advances in teaching methods and electronic resources, as well as small-group and individual tuition.

Most taught modules are assessed by examination and / or written work.

Tutors provide feedback on assignments. Our objective is to help you develop the confidence to work as a professional academic, at ease with the conventions of the discipline, and ready to tackle any area of research in Electronic Communications and Computer Engineering.

We also offer an MSc in Electronic Communications and Computer Engineering, which includes a 60-credit dissertation undertaken over the summer period.
