Course content

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an advanced technology that can link objects in the home, on transport, in the street or in the home together with little or no human interactions. IoT is reshaping modern systems, incorporating technological, economic, and social prospects. From alerting health professionals if someone in the home has had a fall to enabling home users to make better use of energy tariffs during day for household chores IoT is becoming a force in all industries & is generating valuable data. With IoT systems evolving from conventional to more personalized systems where information can be safely accessed, shared, and studied more easily this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to businesses are looking for in this area.

A shift has taken place, and change is inevitable, therefore as a society, it is an opportunity to transform, adapt and embrace Internet of Things (IoT). The Internet of Things is making all devices in the home and in the industrial environment smart and we can use that to our advantage to be more efficient, sustainable, inclusive, ethical, kinder to planet and society.

The MSc Internet of Things Engineering curriculum has been co-designed with industry. The course has adopted the Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate (CDIO) engineering education practice developed by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The CDIO projects are typically sourced from industry. These projects will provide you the opportunity to work individually and in groups developing real, inclusive and sustainable solutions to commercial problems and enabling students to become “Industry Ready Graduates”.

The awards embrace the latest advances in research and development and offer students a variety of practical and workshop-based learning opportunities which use authentic industry projects and challenges so that students are exposed to the various dimensions of front-line engineering that they will experience in the workplace.

The course takes full advantage of the new engineering, technology and design facilities and team in the Verena Holmes Building at Canterbury Christ Church University.

The full-time course is 1 year, part-time course is 2 years. The core modules studied on the course will develop your understanding and knowledge of the principles of engineering, design, embedded systems, mechanics and electronics, networking, computer programming, data handling, industry 4/5, artificial intelligence (AI) and project management to an industrial level.
