The MSc in Digital Systems Engineering is a one-year full-time taught course that makes extensive use of the knowledge and expertise from our well established Intelligent Systems and Nano-Science Research Group. It is intended to provide students with a good theoretical background and solid hands-on experience of the techniques used in modern digital systems design. Using FPGAs as a hardware platform and VHDL as a design language, the programme provides students with: a balanced picture of state-of-the-art digital systems design methods, a sound theoretical and practical knowledge of digital devices, tools, data networks and operating systems, the ability to learn new techniques to keep up-to-date with new developments in an industrial and/or research setting, experience of the use of industry-standard tools to make them attractive candidates for prospective employers in the field, experience of working within a group and of the important management skills required by industry, hands-on experience of the different stages of the design of a modern digital system, which will culminate in the construction of a complex device (for example, an FPGA-based MP3 player).
