Electronics

Throughout the Electronics MSc program from The University of Edinburgh with a foundation in both digital and analogue electronics, as well as mixed-signal systems, the program provides a comprehensive understanding of the design, development, and integration of systems optimised for smartphones, computers, and other advanced consumer devices.

Emphasising both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practice, you’ll be introduced to modern prototyping, advanced micro and nanofabrication techniques, and the electronic systems that form the backbone of today’s most innovative technology, from internet-of-things devices to biomedical instruments.
