Communication Degrees Online

CAREERS
The programme is designed to allow students to update, extend and deepen their knowledge in a flexible course to enhance their career opportunities in either the Microelectronics or Communication Engineering industry, or as a preparation for further academic research.

COURSEWORK AND ASSESSMENT
The programme consists of a balance of taught modules and a project making 180 credit points in total. Students will normally take one third of the programme as taught modules, together with a 30-credit point directed learning module and project equivalent to one half of the programme (90 credits 30+60).

Every project involves both research and practical work and culminates in a dissertation. Some modules will be taught conventionally, others may be taught using independent or distance learning materials, with the support of an appropriate tutor.

Students enrolling in the programme choose their project in consultation with the appropriate academic staff. The particular choice of project for a student will take into account the student’s interests, aspirations and previous experience.

Two prestigious Erasmus Mundus Programmes involving Lund University have been approved by the European Commission; both within the environmental area.

Master in Environmental Science, Policy and Management (MESPOM)

Geo-information Science and Earth Observation for Environmental Modelling and Management (GEM)

Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window Scholarship Information

Students and academic staff from certain countries can receive scholarships for study at Lund University from the Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window.

This programme promotes an alternative approach to Three Dimensional Studies, through a combination of studio and industrial techniques encompassing Furniture, Ceramics, Metalwork, Jewellery and Silversmithing.

Working across the programmes’ diversity provides a variety of ways in which students can work and generates new ways of thinking – New Practice. It accommodates those who choose to focus on one subject, whilst providing for others a more experimental approach to creative production and extended possibilities of manufacture.

3D: New Practice is an evolution of traditional skills, modern manufacturing, and latest methodologies and the programme builds upon its reputation for producing skilled designers and practising artists.

We provide an extraordinary variety of creative facilities incorporating traditional techniques, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacture and rapid prototype technology. This allows students to develop a personalised ‘toolbox’ enabling a more sophisticated description of their practice – functional/expressive, art or product.

In Year 1 relationships between craftsmanship, design, production and theory are investigated through a variety of processes and projects, which generate an atmosphere of experimentation and critical debate. These projects allow students to work across the facilities informing a greater understanding of the variety of approaches that exist within the programmes’ subject area.

In Year 2 staff from all disciplines present new project opportunities which will support each individual student’s personal direction and help them to liaise with the commercial or industrial environment.

In their final year, students consolidate their studies either in context of a single subject area or through new models of research which utilise broad areas of their ‘3D’ interest.

We continue to develop links with industry; all academic staff are practising artists, designers and theorists who encourage students full professional participation; subscribing to the idea that design, a product of negotiation, should evolve through research and experimentation.
