Communications technology is a crucial part of the world economy, with advances in electronics and communications making a measurable impact on the modern world. It is a growing industry, too – and we all have an innate need and desire to communicate.

 

As communications technology advances, the demand for new devices and environmentally sustainable solutions increases to improve the quality of the society we live in.

 

This course aims to prepare you for this fast-paced world, giving you the skills and knowledge to get ahead. EngineeringUK projections suggest net growth in engineering roles of 2.8% compared to 2.3% in all occupations. Growth at that level would lead to 173,000 new engineering and technology jobs by 2030.*
