We explain how to apply for the MSc in Reliable Embedded Systems on this page. We also provide information about the University entry criteria and the course fees.

Required academic background

To undertake the University of Leicester programmes, the University has certain entry criteria.

In most cases, candidates are expected to hold an undergraduate degree (e.g. BSc, BEng) in an appropriate discipline (from a recognised institution), at the level of Second Class Honours (2:2) or equivalent. All courses will be taught in English. Evidence of proficiency in English may be required.

Application process

To apply for a place on the MSc in Reliable Embedded Systems, you need to complete the University application form (which is available in PDF or Word format).

(Documents can be returned by post or sent by e-mail: please contact us if you require assistance.)

Please:

  • Do not attempt to send any payment with your application (if your application is accepted by the University, you will be sent payment details).

Successful applicants will receive a formal offer letter from the University of Leicester.

Please note that all offer letters will be “Conditional” until payment of course fees (for the 2009 session) is received.
