Program Overview

It’s hard to imagine a world without mobile networks, the internet, radio, or audio-visual appliances. Bringing together knowledge from both electrical engineering and computer science, communications engineers drive these communications systems which are so fundamental to the modern world; we can now easily make international calls, Skype our friends, and even communicate with satellites orbiting the planet. How could you influence what happens next?

On the four-year MEng version of this course, you achieve a masters-level qualification, pushing your abilities to develop a more thorough technical knowledge of communication engineering. You cover the same wide range of communications as studied on the BEng, including:

  • Radio frequency circuits and systems
  • The transmission of digital signals over analogue links
  • The transfer of audio-visual information


In addition to these areas, you then have the further opportunity to investigate more advanced topics in communication engineering, including:

  • Mathematics and modern communication systems
  • The architecture and technology of a telecommunication network
  • Multi-user communications
  • Circuit, packet and cell-switching


Our School is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Today’s communications engineers are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental. We are home to many of the world’s top engineers, and our work is driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence.

You graduate prepared to move into relevant roles across almost every industry.

Programming at Essex

Teaching someone to programme is about opening a door. In your first year at Essex you will study a module that introduces you to programming using Python. We assess your ability to think in a programmatic way in the very first week of term and if you require additional support, we offer classes which will boost your skills and confidence with programming.
