Course Summary

About this course

Study on this Masters programme in Embedded Systems and IC Design at Liverpool John Moores University.

  • Study at one the UK’s leading Engineering Departments
  • Benefit from the internationally-acclaimed research of LJMU’s Electrical and Electronic Engineering Research Centre
  • Postgraduates of this course highly sought after by major UK and international employers
  • Look forward to a placement* in your second year of study. The 30 plus week industrial placement and writing of the MSc Dissertation will run in tandem during the second year

Industrial organisations across all sectors have identified a gap in the market and the need for Engineers with good leadership and interpersonal skills in addition to their technical abilities.

This MSc degree programme provides excellent progression from electronic engineering undergraduate courses. You can also complete the course as part of your career development and to specialise in the Embedded Systems, Nano Electronics and IC Design fields.

Students who choose the two year MSc route will undertake a Group Design Project & Dissertation.

The Group Design Project aims to apply engineering, technology and scientific knowledge to a real-world design problem. Detailed ideas will be explored and developed through design, experimentation, computer modelling and/or manufacture.
