Electrical & Electronic Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Electrical and electronic engineers design, develop, test, and manage innovative technologies, from power generation and processing to devices like drones, electric vehicles, smartphones, navigation systems, and hospital equipment.This course equips you with specialised knowledge and skills for a sustainable future, through individual and team-based lab projects that integrate numerical, analytical, and technical expertise to solve real-world problems. As a graduate, you will be prepared to deliver industry-demanded engineering solutions. All electrical and electronic programs share core content in the first two years, allowing specialisation in year three. The four-year MEng degree offers a deeper insight into electrical engineering and is the preferred path to Chartered Engineer status. In the first year, you build foundational principles and practical skills; the second year advances your understanding and design abilities; the third year offers specialist options; and the fourth year explores cutting-edge technologies with leading experts.

In your first year, you will gain an understanding of the principles and practices on which all specialisms within electrical and electronic engineering are founded. Practical and fault-finding skills are developed through laboratory and project work. In your second year, you will continue to improve your understanding of electrical and electronic engineering, and your design skills will be developed through a variety of laboratory-based subjects. In your third year, you can choose from a range of specialist topics to follow a wide path, or focus on specific technologies. In year four, you will be able to study state-of-the-art technologies taught by world-leading researchers and industrial engineers.
