  Course content
  This course has been developed to provide a research-based degree which is well balanced and provides complementary taught as well as research components. As a major part of this course, you will undertake a research project which will be based around one of our well-respected and pioneering research groups. We currently have active groups in the following areas of electronic systems:
  
  -Intelligent Machines
  -Optoelectronics and Displays
  -Parallel Processing
  -Vision Systems
  -Wireless Communications
  
  The research activity tends to be of a practical nature and relates to the School’s strong industrial links.
  
  How do you study?
  This MRes course can be studied full-time (part-time options are available, please contact us for details). The taught modules are delivered by a combination of lectures, seminars and tutorials. The Research Project will involve the design, implementation and reporting of a major research task.
  
  Progression
  The MRes offers two main opportunities. Firstly, by developing significant expertise in a specific area of study, you will differentiate yourself from other applicants in the same field. Alternatively, if you wish to continue your research as a career, this qualification is an ideal basis for further study leading to a PhD. If you continue your studies at Nottingham Trent University, work originally undertaken for an MRes may be put towards building a research portfolio leading to a PhD.
