Electronic and Computer Engineering (Year 2 out), MEng (Hons), with study abroad

This course offers a comprehensive exploration of computing systems and software essential for advancing technology in an era of smart devices and sustainable energy. Students engage in hands-on learning through individual and group labs, covering topics such as analogue and digital electronics, circuits, systems, computing, communications, and electrical energy applications. In the second year, opportunities to study at our China or Malaysia campuses allow for cultural immersion, with the same curriculum as the UK, delivered in English, including core modules and subject-specific options.All electrical and electronic courses share content in the first two years, enabling specialisation from year three. The four-year MEng pathway provides deeper insights into electrical engineering for Chartered Engineer status, compared to the BEng. Modules span engineering mathematics, power systems, and advanced topics, culminating in an individual project that often contributes to industrial research, preparing graduates for rewarding careers across industries.

All students follow a common programme in year one and you will study topics such as engineering mathematics, power and energy and information and systems. In year two, you will study on our campus in China or Malaysia where you will develop your design skills through a variety of lab based subjects. Modules include digital communications and practical engineering design solutions. Year three topics include advanced engineering mathematics, analogue electronics and integrated circuits and systems, as well as a range of optional modules. In your final year, you will undertake an individual project and study state-of-the-the-art technologies. In many cases, this project contributes to the major industrially related programmes undertaken by research groups within the department.
