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

Electrical engineers design and develop technologies for generating, processing, and distributing power, including Smart Grid systems for renewable energy, while supporting manufacturing and transportation sectors such as hybrid vehicles, trains, ships, and aircraft. This course equips students with specialised knowledge and skills to contribute to a sustainable future through hands-on lab projects, individual and team-based problem-solving, and design training. In the third year, students can study at our China or Malaysia campuses, experiencing diverse cultures while following the same English-taught curriculum as in the UK, including core modules and tailored electives.The first two years cover foundational principles of electrical and electronic engineering, building practical and fault-finding skills through projects. In the third year abroad, students explore specialist topics, and in the final year, they engage with cutting-edge technologies and complete an individual research project, fostering confidence in delivering industry-relevant solutions. All courses share content in the initial years, allowing specialisation from year three.

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.
