Course content

The number of connected Internet of Things devices is projected to rise from 16.4 billion in 2022, to 30.9 billion by 2025 (Statista). This course is designed to meet the demand for a new kind of IT specialist who can engineer these innovative interactive products and smart objects, and embed them into larger systems and architectures.

This is an exciting programme that merges and replaces the previous MSc Internet of Things and MSc Telecommunications and Wireless Systems courses.

This course aims to provide you with in-depth knowledge of the theory and practice of IoT-driven telecomms and data science. Students will be supported to:

• Master the programming tools and techniques for processing heterogeneous things, including the use of tags, sensors and other things in the physical world.
• Apply methods and techniques for automated and manual interaction with IoT devices, their services and their data.
• Develop novel techniques for interconnecting things, sensing the environment and processing data.

Our industrial partners will be involved in teaching activities, providing guest lectures, as well as business use cases for applying IoT engineering techniques.
