Course Summary

The MEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree will provide you with a strong technical background in the key subjects of electronics, power engineering, signal processing and mechatronics, in conjunction with engineering management. You’ll spend your fourth year developing advanced, in-demand expertise at the cutting edge of the discipline, and completing a design project that helps you transition from study to professional practice. We have been educating electrical and electronic engineers for almost 90 years. Our degrees are dual-accredited by professional bodies, meaning your qualification will be recognised for its quality and relevance. In addition, you will: - Learn from research-active academics working at the cutting-edge of their field - Develop highly relevant, in-demand skills thanks to industry involvement in our curriculum - Put your in-depth engineering knowledge into practice and apply your expertise to real-world problems with design projects at every stage of your studies - Gain hands-on experience with high-tech equipment in modern undergraduate and research labs, including chip production facilities and electrical power equipment - Take an optional work placement to boost your grades, employability and professional expertise - Fast track your progress to Chartered Engineer status, with a degree that meets all academic requirements for professional registration. This degree provides a solid foundation for people wishing to pursue a career in electrical engineering, communications, control systems, robotics or sensor systems. Recent graduates have joined employers such as UK Power Networks, BT, National Grid, AECOM, BP, Huawei, British Aerospace and DeltaRail.
