The course targets practising engineers who wish to build and advance their careers in the fi eld of telecommunication, and also as a stepping stone for those who aspire to pursue advanced research in telecommunication. The MSc/PG Diploma Programme in Telecommunication is built around a set of core course modules considered fundamental to a thorough understanding of the broad fi eld of telecommunication, and a set of elective course modules from a larger knowledge base covering the realms of telecommunication engineering practice. The course thus enables students to broaden their knowledge depending on the particular industry segment they are employed.
The course also offers students wishing to embark on a research oriented career, a very good grounding as many course modules have a strong research focus dealing with cutting-edge research in wireless communications and networks. A directed study module prepares them for effective research at the MSc level. Throughout the programme, students have the opportunity to study real world applications of theoretical concepts and algorithms. They conduct modelling, design, analysis and simulation of different communication systems and networks through a wide range of prominent software and hardware tools and platforms. In addition, industry-related projects are carried out by students at the PG diploma and MSc levels. The students will choose a combination of elective modules along with the core course modules based on their interest.
