Radio Frequency Engineering MSc Programme – BAE Systems and the New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering (NMITE) have partnered to launch a new Master of Science (MSc) degree programme in Radio Frequency (RF) and Wireless Systems Engineering, aimed at addressing the critical shortage of specialist engineering skills in the UK.
Demand for engineers with expertise in this area continues to outstrip supply, posing a risk to national security, industrial resilience and economic growth. This is because RF technologies underpin many of the systems people rely on, from wireless communications, radar and satellite navigation to medical imaging and critical infrastructure such as power grids and water systems.
That’s why BAE Systems’ Digital Intelligence business is teaming up with NMITE to train the next generation of experts by providing the initial investment required to launch the MSc and helping to fund the first two years of the programme.
The new programme combines academic study with industrial experience to equip graduates with the multidisciplinary skills required to design, integrate and deploy the next generation of wireless technologies. This will prepare students for careers spanning defence, aerospace, national security, law enforcement, telecommunications, healthcare and transport amongst others. The two organisations have been working to ensure the curriculum reflects current industry practice, as well as emerging trends.
