Electronic and Computer Engineering, MEng (Hons)

This course offers a comprehensive exploration of computing systems and software essential for advancing technology in an era of smart devices and sustainable energy needs. Students engage in laboratory-based learning, both individually and in groups, covering topics such as analogue and digital electronics, circuits, systems, computing, communications, and electrical energy applications. Upon graduation, participants gain a robust foundation in hardware and software engineering, enabling rewarding careers across various industries. All electrical and electronic programs share core content in the first two years, allowing specialization in the third year. The four-year MEng option provides advanced insights for Chartered Engineer status and is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, meeting UK standards for professional competence and supporting pathways to Incorporated or Chartered Engineer registration.In the second year, students deepen their knowledge of electronic and computer engineering while enhancing design skills through lab-focused subjects. The third year offers flexibility to select from diverse specialist topics, and the final year involves studying cutting-edge technologies and completing an individual research project, often linked to departmental industrial initiatives. The program combines lectures, group work, tutorials, coursework, and self-study, typically requiring over 40 hours weekly.
