This MSc programme sits within our wider training delivery portfolio and further extends the opportunity for students looking to formalise their experience with a university awarded and industry recognised HE qualification.

We are delighted to be offering this suite of postgraduate courses in Wireless Communications, in collaboration with CDS Defence and Security. This represents a welcome addition to our core provision in directly delivered computing related courses at the University, and signals what we hope will be the start of an exciting collaboration. Working with colleagues at CDS DS over the last few months to take this exciting partnership and the courses through the approval processes, has been a great experience from the University’s perspective, as CDS DS has taken on board the various requirements for them to provide documentation and attend meetings, with enthusiasm and professionalism at all times. We are really looking forward to welcoming the first cohort of students to the Cert HE in Wireless Communications, In January 2024.
