Hamad is currently working as a network engineer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Qatar.


I chose to study at the University of Essex for several reasons; my course had a good reputation, Colchester


was a great town, it was an extremely multicultural campus, and the state-of-the-art facilities were excellent.

BEng Telecommunication Engineering This specialist electronic systems course has a particular emphasis on radio frequency circuits and systems, analogue and data communications and computer networks, and the communication of audio-visual information. However, it also includes modules in traditional electronics such as signal processing, circuit design, processors and software.


MEng Electronic Engineering (four-year Integrated Masters)* This course will provide you with a great breadth and depth of understanding in electronic engineering and related areas such as telecommunication systems. The course covers the theory together with extensive practical laboratory sessions and both group and individual project work. The first three years cover increasingly

advanced material at undergraduate level, while the fourth year is based exclusively on Masters level material including wireless communication systems and photonics and optical networks, much of it taught by leading international experts in their respective areas.

Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) accreditation Our engineering courses have always had IET accreditation. The current courses have been updated, and will be reviewed by the IET during its next visit to the School in 2011.


Career opportunities Our graduates are equipped to work at a professional level in electronics and telecommunications, often in design engineering but also in other professional areas such as production management.


However, our graduates are also highly sought after outside the field of electronics because of the high-level mathematical skills which are acquired during study.


We have many graduates now in senior positions in the communications and electronics industries, as well as many more of our recent graduates working in electronics, communications, and in the audio and broadcast industries.


Our graduates are well equipped with transferable skills, gained through project work, group activities and presentations to peers. Some of our graduates choose to pursue further study to Masters or PhD level, usually in the same or a related field, but sometimes branching out into something new.


As an international student I was quite apprehensive when I first came to Essex but I never had the chance to be homesick as there was always something going on like religious activities, parties and barbeques by the lakes. The standard of lecturing was very high and I really felt like I was in an exciting and innovative environment. All of the modules I took are now useful in my chosen career.


Whilst at University I was a member of the Islamic Society and we achieved the best society award in 2004, the best activities award in 2005 and organised the first Islamic centre. I was also a member of the Peace, Arabic, Asian, and Gliding societies. Joining these societies meant that I met lots of new people and made life-long friends.


I enjoyed both the academic and social aspects of my time at Essex. I made lots of friends and I am still in touch with many of my lecturers. My time at Essex prepared me well for my career and it was an experience I will never forget.
