On this Internet of Things MSc you’ll gain knowledge and practical skills in:
the main elements of Internet of Things (IoT) systems and how to design and build them. Embedded programming and IoT hardware components such as microprocessors, microsensors and energy harvesters. How data moves between devices, apps and the cloud. IoT system vulnerabilities and how to secure IoT devices and their networks against malicious attack
You’ll also have the flexibility to explore specialist IoT topics through your choice of optional modules. Typical subjects include:
– managing and analysing the data produced by IoT systems
– the architecture of embedded processors, and how to design and build them
– the design and optimisation of wireless communications systems using machine learning techniques
– the applications of modern cryptography
– signal processing and computer vision
You’ll learn from researchers who are advancing IoT technologies for applications as varied as smart homes and cities, environmental monitoring, healthcare and disaster relief.
Our Electronics and Computer Science department is also home to the Centre for Internet of Things and Pervasive
Systems research group. Much of the course content is informed by their work, so you’ll benefit from the latest knowledge in this field.
