Entry requirements

For international students

A UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, typically in electrical and/or electronics engineering with a specialisation in signal processing and/or communications.

We also welcome applications from candidates who have studied related disciplines with strong mathematical backgrounds, such as those with previous degrees in mathematics, physics or deep/machine learning.

Entry into this programme is competitive. A typical offer will normally require a UK first class honours degree, or equivalent, and high grades in fundamentals, such as mathematics or probability, and relevant courses, such as signals and systems, statistics, communications, optimisation or machine learning. In addition, some of the courses and/or your final MSc project may require programming or learning a new programming language. Therefore, you will normally need to demonstrate practical knowledge and/or experience in a high level programming language.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
