Overview

Prepare for a career as an innovator who can combine the technical and entrepreneurial aspects of sensor systems to help solve real-world problems.

This Systems Engineering for the Internet of Things programme from University College London (UCL) brings electronics, programming and the Internet of Things (IoT) together with entrepreneurship and the skills needed to identify real needs in the physical environment. You will gain hands-on experience of everything from idea generation to prototyping and deployment.

First-hand experience is central to this degree, and you will undertake multiple projects throughout the programme, putting technical skills into practice from the start. You will also get to grips with topics such as laws, regulations and limitations, customer needs and implications for society, providing you with an understanding of the wider context to innovations in sensor systems.

Employability

As a graduate of the Systems Engineering for the Internet of Things MSc programme, you will be equipped with a broad range of skills, knowledge, and experience employers need. As well as in-depth knowledge about sensor systems, embedded networked systems and the application of responsible system design, you will also understand socio-technical frameworks and how to account for privacy, security, ethical, moral and legal issues throughout the idea to deployment process.
