课程特征 Course Features
We offer the following MSc programmes in the field of communication systems:
MSc Communications Networks and Software
MSc Mobile Communications Systems
MSc Mobile and Satellite Communications
Mobile and satellite communications and Internet-based networking are now an essential part of life. Long term, we expect to see the development of infrastructure-less networks that support wireless handheld devices, bringing us closer to ubiquitous wireless communications.
Mobile telephony is reaching saturation in the most technologically advanced countries and is rapidly becoming the main telecommunication infrastructure in the rest of the world. Our MSc Mobile Communications Systems gives you a thorough understanding of the engineering aspects of this rapidly developing field.
Mobile communications provide terrestrial coverage in densely populated areas, while satellite communications enable wireless communication in regions where mobile networking is not cost-effective. Our MSc Mobile and Satellite Communications gives you an in-depth understanding of the engineering aspects of these important technologies.
We are placing ever greater demands on the Internet, and traditional telecommunication infrastructures are migrating to Internet-based architectures and protocols. Our MSc Communications Networks and Software covers the key aspects of the changing Internet environment, in particular the convergence of computing and communications underpinned by software-based solutions.

教学与评估 Teaching and Assessment：
Teaching
Taught Masters programmes in the Department of Electronic Engineering utilise our research-active staff in conjunction with state-of-the-art facilities to provide a range of learning experiences – lectures, tutorials, directed study, practical laboratories and project work – that prepare graduates for their professional life.
We are particularly keen to develop in all our students a broad range of generic skills to complement the core technical or scientific competencies of their chosen subject area. Our modular programme format, coupled with the increasing use of innovative teaching and learning strategies such as e-learning and industrially focused short courses, provides a flexible study environment whilst maintaining the academic rigour and quality expected of one of the UK’s top-rated faculties.
其它信息 Other Information：
Facilities, Equipment and Support
We have a full range of software support for assignments and project work, including Matlab/ Simulink, C, C++ and up-to-date toolboxes, systems view, OPNET and NS2. You will be able to access system simulators already built in-house, including 3GPP, BGAN, DVB-S2-RCS, GSM, UMTS, DVB-SH, WCDMA, GPRS, WiMAX, LTE, HSPA and HSDPA.
Our Rohde and Schwartz Satellite Networking Laboratory includes DVBS2-RCS generation and measurement equipment and roof-mounted antennas to pick up satellites. A security test-bed also exists for satellite security evaluation.
We have a fully equipped RF lab with network analyser, signal and satellite link simulations. In addition we have a small anechoic chamber for antenna measurements. A wideband MIMO channel sounder is available for propagation measurements.
SatNEX is a European Network of Excellence in satellite communications, and a satellite platform exists to link the 22 partners around Europe. This is used for virtual meetings and to participate in lectures and seminars delivered by our partners.
A fully equipped UHF/VHF satellite ground-station facility is located on campus, which is being expanded to S-band and is supported by the ESA GENSO project. At present the station tracks amateur satellites and CubeSats.
Our wide coverage experimental wireless network test-bed is based on IPv4, and IPv6 for testing new networking protocols for mobility, handover, security, cognitive radio and networking can be carried out. Most networking protocol projects use this test-bed, with the help of PhD students and staff.
We are the only university in the UK that has an IP-Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) test-bed for developing and experimenting advanced mobile/ wireless services/applications. You can use this to carry out your services and application-based projects for mobile multimedia, such as multi-mode user interface, service mobility, service discovery and social networking services.
Our wireless sensor test-bed is unique. Advanced routing protocols, middleware architectures, air interface and networking protocols for wireless sensor networks can be developed and tested.
Links with Industry and International Organisations
The University of Surrey has very close links to communications technology companies who use our MSc programmes as their main training ground. An industrial board also helps us to shape our programmes and views all student project posters, helping to keep our programmes relevant and enabling our students to meet good contacts.
Lectures, visits and projects are provided in association with a large number of key industrial partners. For example, as part of the Satellite Communications A module, there are five industrial lectures to complement the academic presentations, whilst the Mobile Communications B module includes several lectures by the Director of Vodafone Global R&D based on the practical issues involved in running a mobile network.
We have collaborations with organisations in Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Sweden, China, India, Pakistan, Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and the US.
