Summary on Grant Application Form
Scope: Driven by the rapid developments in cellular, satellite and wireless communications, we seek to provide a flexible FT/PT programme of study for MSc/Post-Graduate Dip./CPD, designed, developed and delivered in close co-operation with industry. The nine modules have been carefully chosen to respond to a clear and quantifiable national shortage of skills in digital communication and high frequency engineering, and are unique in responding to industry's need for a wider coverage of all the fundamental aspects of a communication system (including their limitations and inter-relationships): i.e. communication theory, baseband, rf, and communication systems/networks.Aims and Objectives: The aim (informed by a School active in communications research) is to create a successful, industrially supported programme of study in modern communications that is structured to be both cost-effective and make efficient use of staff time. It will use an intensive lecturing format backed up with CD ROM delivery, so that FT/PT and industrial students can be taught together. The objective is, based on extensive consultations, to meet an acute national and regional need for post-graduate training in digital communications and high frequency engineering.
