Electrical Engineering (Year 3 out), MEng (Hons), with study abroad

Course summary

Electrical engineers design and develop new technologies to generate and process power. The equipment they design is used to distribute electrical energy (including 'Smart Grid' technologies for renewable energy sources), and also supports many manufacturing industries.Electrical engineering technologies now enable hybrid and electric vehicles, trains, ships and even aircraft.Our course will give you the specialist electrical knowledge and skills that will help you be part of a more sustainable future. Through lab-based projects, working individually and in small teams, you'll learn essential problem solving and design skills.During your third year, you can study at either our China or Malaysia campus where you will have the opportunity to experience differing cultures. The curriculum is exactly the same as that of the UK and all teaching is in English. Your year will be spent studying core modules, and depending on the subject specialisms you have selected, appropriate optional modules.By bringing together your numerical, analytical and technical knowledge, you will be confident in creating engineering solutions that industry are looking for.All our electrical and electronic courses have the same content in year one and two so by year three, you can choose to specialise in the topics that interest you.

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 engineering, and your design skills will be developed through a variety of laboratory-based subjects. In your third year, you will study on our campus in China or Malaysia where 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.
