About Telecommunications Course

The programme targets practicing engineers who wish to build and advance their careers in the field of Telecommunications, and also as a stepping stone for those who aspire to pursue advanced research in Telecommunications. The MSc/PG Diploma Program in Telecommunications is built around a set of core course modules considered fundamental to a thorough understanding of the broad field of telecommunications, and a set of elective course modules from a larger knowledge base covering the realms of Telecommunication Engineering practice. The course thus enables students to broaden their knowledge depending on the particular industry segment they are employed.

The course also offers students who wish to embark on a research-oriented career, a very good grounding as many course modules have a strong research focus dealing with cutting edge research in Wireless and Optical Communications and Networks. A Directed Study module prepares them for effective research at the MSc level. Through the program, students have the opportunity to study real-world applications of theoretical concepts and algorithms. They conduct modeling, design, analysis, and simulation of different communication systems and networks through a wide range of prominent software and hardware tools and platforms. In addition, industry-related projects are carried out by students at both PG Diploma and MSc levels.

Course Duration: MSc is a six-term (two years) part-time or three terms (one year) full-time course.

International Students are eligible for full-time MSc Only.

Curriculum- Revised in 2019

Key highlights of the new curriculum:

  1. Workload evenly balanced over the three terms with a maximum of four subjects per semester.
  2. Subjects updated taking trending technologies of next-generation networks into consideration.
  3. Key subjects on data sciences, statistical learning, and optimization were added with a focus on their applications in telecommunications.
  4. More flexible subject choices for the students depending on their preference in communication theory, telecommunication industry (technical and management), and data sciences and decision theory.
