Our team at the School of Engineering, Technology and Design is committed to providing you with a broad base to increase the employability and long-term career prospects of MSc Internet of Things Engineering students, locally and globally in sectors. The development of the MSc Internet of Things Engineering has taken place alongside industry partners, which means that students will graduate as industry ready engineers.

The awards embrace the latest advances in research and development and offer students a variety of practical and workshop-based learning opportunities which use authentic industry projects and challenges so that students are exposed to the various dimensions of front-line engineering that they will experience in the workplace.

Within this course, there is only one pathway which provides in-depth learning in multidisciplinary subject areas, such as data intelligence, network communication systems, smart mechatronics, industrial systems, working with AI and specific Internet of Things devices.

Trimester 1 & 2 will consist of taught modules and hand in practice laboratory experiments and Trimester 3 will be focused on research project and dissertation/thesis. Below is the module overview:

Core Modules:

MSc Internet of Things Engineering (All compulsory):

Trimester 1:

• Principles of Data Intelligence Programming
• Internet of Things
• Smart Mechatronics Systems and Design

 Trimester 2:

• AI for Data Intelligence

Your welcome and induction will be w/c 15th September 2025 - we look forward to meeting you then.

Community

On the social side, the Student Union (CCSU) has a huge range of clubs and societies – all of which have unique social calendars of their own and offer endless opportunities to make lifelong friends and discover new hobbies. And you can always create your own society and cultivate your own community!

CCSU will be hosting their Welcome Fayre on Wednesday 17th September 2025. Make sure you keep checking the CCSU website for further details and how to get involved.

We understand that you may be nervous about your first few weeks on campus but rest assured - you'll be joining a nurturing and supportive environment where diversity, equality and individuality are part of everything we do.

You can find out more about our welcoming community and making friends here at CCCU.

If you are an International Student joining us then please see our International Student Support pages for further information and guidance.
