UK Education Eng. Depart. : University of Bristol - Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Location : University of Bristol is in the heart of the City of Bristol in the west of England. The university has good roads and rail links and London is about an hour away by train.

Courses : MSc/PhD by Research: The department research activities are concentrated in three groups; communications, CAD and Industrial Electronics. The main topics covered are:

• Antennas and Propagation : Design and modelling of antennas and adaptive antenna systems; system assessment tools, measurement and modelling of radio propagation.
• Wireless Communications : Power and bandwidth efficient modulation techniques; novel transceiver architectures for improve linearity; image/video coding; error connecting codes; development and verification of data transmission networks and protocols.
• Medical Electronics : DSP for muscle stimulation and monitoring depth of anesthesia; medical imaging and diagnosis.
• Power Electronic Control : DSP-based optimal PWM control, advanced control techniques, power electronics circuit modelling and design; motors and drives.
• Power systems : switched mode power supplies; High power pulse modulators. EMC compliance testing.
• Optoelectronics : High-performance long haul ultra fast communication systems; advanced wavelength division multiplexed communication systems; low-cost high-performance data networks.
• CAD : Reed-Muller techniques for high level logic synthesis.

MSc in communication systems and signal processing provides in-depth education in modern communication engineering and signal processing. MSc is based on a wide range of taught modules and includes a substantial individual design project.

Accommodation :The university has several halls of residence and private accommodation in the city.

Note :The aim of the department is to meet the need for highly trained professional engineers. It is one among the selected department which have been awarded the maximum possible TQA score of 24 out of 24.

Other Details : The department has laboratory facilities for teaching and research. The Bristol Old Vic theatre company and the Hippodrome offer regular seasons of drama, opera and ballet. The university sports hall has facilities for all major sports. There are a number of restaurants near to the university.
