Flexible progression to MEng while paying undergraduate fees
Progress from BEng to MEng with integrated studies in power systems, machine learning and control engineering (subject to meeting progression requirements) while paying undergraduate fees.
Research and innovation exposure
Develop research skills through projects and simulations, with pathways to PhD study or research and development (R&D) roles in sectors such as automotive and aerospace.
Extra-curricular boosters
Enhance employability through UKESF scholarships, robotics competitions, global field trips, or entrepreneurship modules – all optional but supported by the University.
This course includes a sandwich (placement year) option. For the most update to date course details, please visit our website.
This course is also offered with a foundation year and as an integrated master’s degree.
This course has a common first year.
The common first year enables you to work alongside students doing similar courses to you, to widen your knowledge and exposure to other subject areas and professions. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other students, so you can share your insights and experience which will help you to develop and learn.
If you discover an interest in a specific subject you have studied, upon successful completion of your first year, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first year (subject to meeting progression requirements).
Common first year courses:
Computer Systems Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)
Electrical and Electronic Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)
Year One Modules
Electrical Programming and Applications
Engineering Mathematics
Analogue Circuit Design
Electrical and Electronic Engineering Principles
Year Two
Embedded Systems Design and Manufacturing
Digital Circuits and Systems Design
Electrical Engineering and Machines
Signals and Systems
Sandwich year
There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement2 can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future.
Final year
Individual Project Design
Power Electronics and Power Systems
Signal Processing and Machine Learning
Optional modules:
Choose one from the following two:
Control Systems
Communication Systems Engineering
Additional year
Following on from successful completion of the BEng (Hons) course, you can opt to proceed to the Electrical and Electronic Engineering MEng master's. In this additional year, more advanced topics related to electrical and electronic engineering engineering will be investigated which is beyond the scope of undergraduate study. More advanced technology and their applications such as robotics, wireless intelligent systems and image processing technique will be investigated. You will also undertake a group based industrial project relevant to the modern engineering problems.
Modules
Industrial Group Project
Control and Signal Processing
Power Electrical, Electrical Machines and Drives
