Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Electrical and electronic engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines and uses cutting-edge technology to address some of the major concerns of the modern world. There is a growing demand for skilled graduates to work in industries such as consumer electronics, alternative energy and transport, medical engineering, and communications.

Years one and two provide a strong grounding in mathematics, computing, analogue and digital electronics, communications, electromagnetics, electrical systems, and control. In the third year, you will have an authentic experience of the working paradigm in industry through a group project that will furnish you with the skills to work as an effective team member. This activity will also let you experience the responsibility of taking ownership of individual tasks to completion.

The first two years are common with the MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering and transfer on to the MEng is possible until the end of year two, subject to satisfactory performance.

Through our close collaboration with industry, you will benefit from excellent employment prospects. Recent graduate employers include Intel, BBC, Dyson, Jaguar Land Rover, Siemens, Hewlett-Packard, EDF Energy and many others.

This programme is currently under review for accreditation by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council. The outcome is pending.
