Electrical Engineering (Year 2 out), MEng (Hons), with study abroad

Electrical engineers design and develop innovative technologies for generating and processing power, including systems for distributing electrical energy through smart grid solutions for renewable sources, while supporting various manufacturing sectors. These advancements also power hybrid and electric vehicles, trains, ships, and aircraft, contributing to a sustainable future.This course equips students with specialised electrical knowledge and skills via lab-based projects, fostering problem-solving and design abilities through individual and team work. In the second year, options include studying at our China or Malaysia campuses, where the curriculum mirrors the UK version, taught in English, with core and optional modules based on interests. By years three and four, students can specialise in topics of choice, culminating in advanced technologies and an individual research project, preparing graduates to deliver industry-relevant engineering solutions.

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 study on our campus in China or Malaysia where you will continue to improve your understanding of electrical 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 your final year you will study state-of-the-art technologies and you will undertake an individual research project.
