Electronic Product Development - MSc / PgDip / PgCert part-time

The MSc Electronic Product Development provides an advanced theoretical and practical treatment of specialist areas relevant to the design, development and production of modern complex electronic systems and sub systems. Design methodologies and techniques are demonstrated using industry-standard computer aided design software, including thermal analysis (Flomerics), electromagnetic field plotting (Comsol) and advanced PCB design and simulation (Cadence). The course also considers how the many legal issues impacting on electronically-based products should be addressed during product development.

The course has been created for system designers, circuit designers, PCB designers, technical managers, technical sales and technologists, as well as mechanical and production engineers operating in an electronics environment.

All study takes place over the internet. The course provides the opportunity for professional development and gaining a postgraduate qualification without a career break.

The range of options means the course supports learners with three distinct aims in mind: designers can acquire in-depth knowledge and practical expertise; manufacturers can acquire an understanding of relevant manufacturing issues; managers can acquire an appreciation of business and technological issues.
