The learning outcomes are as follows: (1) familiarity with and knowledge of prototypical analogue, mixed-signal, radiofrequency and power electronic circuits; (2) ability to use electronic design automation (EDA) software to design circuits of medium complexity; (3) ability to analyse and design electronic circuits to solve specified problems; (4) ability to communicate effectively in the field of electronic design and (5) ability to learn independently.
The Professional Diploma in Electronic Design is a Single-Stage 20-credit Level 9 Part-time programme. This programme can be completed over one or two years (up to four trimesters). To be eligible for the award of this Professional Diploma students must complete the required 20 credits with the 2-year registration period. Students are encouraged to take a minimum of one module per trimester to ensure a balanced workload across the 2-year registration period. However, any students wishing to complete the programme within 1 year (two trimesters) should take two modules per trimester to ensure a balanced workload.
