    Course Summary

    There is a huge demand at the moment for engineers and engineering managers who know how to deal with mobile communications, wireless networks and other cutting edge telecommunication systems.

    This program prepares you with all of the background understanding you’ll need about these exciting technologies, as well as the specific technical skills you’ll need to work with them in a commercial or industrial context. Finally you’ll engage with actual industry partners to deliver your final project, developing project management skills in the real world.

    You’ll learn about all aspects of information and Communications Technology, with a heavy focus on modern wireless networks and their expected near-future developments. The entire program is constantly monitored by a special ‘industrial steering committee’ tasked to keep the program relevant to the latest technological developments and to ensure that it delivers the practical skills tomorrow’s employers will demand of new hires.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
