COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Embedded Systems and IC Design at Liverpool John Moores University offers a comprehensive and industry-focused program designed to equip students with advanced technical expertise and professional skills in electronic and embedded system engineering. The course includes core modules such as Embedded Systems, IC System Design, Nano Devices, Fabrication and Testing, Digital Design and Test, and Advanced Signal Processing, providing a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of the field. Students also develop essential research skills, modeling and simulation techniques, and professional and leadership capabilities, ensuring they are well-prepared for team-based and management roles within engineering environments. The program culminates in a substantial MSc Dissertation, allowing students to undertake original research or design projects that integrate and apply their learning. Optional opportunities include a Group Design Project or a Sandwich Year Placement, offering hands-on experience and exposure to real-world industrial settings. Delivered by one of the UK’s leading engineering departments and informed by the internationally recognised research of LJMU’s Electrical and Electronic Engineering Research Centre, the program emphasizes both technical competence and employability. Graduates are prepared for careers in embedded systems, nanoelectronics, IC design, and advanced engineering roles, as well as for further study or professional development in high-demand sectors in the UK and internationally.
