Electronic and Electrical Engineering - MEng (Hons)

Electronic and electrical engineers create the technology at the heart of our modern world, from high speed communication networks, to off-shore renewable power generation, to future driverless vehicles in smart cities. Like our BEng, the MEng covers the core mathematics, physics, programming and engineering underpinning such technology, but with the additional fourth year it allows advanced topics to be studied in greater depth at Master's level. In the first two years of the MEng you will cover the core material fundamental to electronic and electrical engineering. During the second year you can decide whether to graduate with a BEng or continue on the MEng. You will also have the choice of switching to the following specialist MEng routes: with Communications; with Computer Science; with Nanotechnology; or the International Programme. The International Programme (Year Abroad) enables MEng students to spend their entire third year studying at a selected partner university around the world.A significant amount of project work is undertaken every year including a substantial final year team project which can range from original research to design and development of new software or devices. In the earlier years, project work includes Engineering Challenges and week-long Scenarios where you learn to apply your theoretical knowledge to solving real world problems.
