Electrical Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Electrical engineers design and develop technologies for generating and processing power, including systems for distributing electrical energy via smart grids and supporting manufacturing industries. These innovations also power hybrid and electric vehicles, trains, ships, and aircraft, contributing to a sustainable future.This course equips students with specialized electrical knowledge and skills through lab-based projects, individual and team work, and problem-solving exercises that integrate numerical, analytical, and technical expertise. The first two years share content across electrical and electronic programs, allowing specialization in year three. Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology under the Engineering Council, it meets UK standards for professional competence, providing a pathway to registration as an Incorporated or Chartered Engineer. In later years, students explore advanced topics, undertake individual research projects, and engage in lectures, tutorials, and over 40 hours of weekly study.
