Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Our integrated masters will set you on the path to an exciting career in the rapidly evolving world of electrical and electronic engineering. This degree will provide you with the specialist knowledge and expertise required for a professional career in electrical and electronic engineering. With project based learning in all years, including live industry-led projects, you will develop the transferable skills and the multi-disciplinary awareness so highly prized by industry.

You’ll start off by exploring the fundamental theories of engineering science and applied mathematics, as well as learning practical and project skills. Then, through the study of analogue and digital electronics, electrical power systems, control, computing, and communications, you will begin to develop your scientific and analytical skills. Every year throughout your studies at Manchester Met, you will have the chance to get involved with projects rooted in our research with potential employers and research teams – giving you valuable experience for your career development.

Much of your learning will take place through projects, reflecting the multidisciplinary world of work. In these projects, set by academic colleagues and industry contacts, you’ll learn what it takes to come up with creative solutions to current engineering problems. You’ll get feedback and advice directly from industry insiders, giving you the chance to find out exactly what it takes to impress a potential future employer.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Manchester Metropolitan University is ranked 5th in the UK for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (The Guardian University Rankings 2025).

• 100% of our research impact in Engineering is world-leading or internationally excellent — and 75% is at the highest 4* level. (REF 2021).

• This degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council.

• The five-year placement route offers the opportunity to spend your third year working on a placement with a relevant employer – gaining the skills and experience that can boost your career prospects.
