Electronic and Computer Engineering (Year 3 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 third year, opportunities arise to 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 subject-specific options. Graduates gain expertise in hardware and software engineering, paving the way for rewarding careers across industries. All electrical and electronic programs share content in the first two years, allowing specialization thereafter, with the four-year MEng route providing deeper insights for Chartered Engineer status.Modules include engineering mathematics, power and energy, and information systems in year one; electrical machines, digital communications, and practical design in year two; and advanced mathematics, analogue electronics, plus electives in year three at international campuses. The final year features an individual project aligned with cutting-edge technologies and departmental research initiatives.

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 modules including electrical machines, digital communications and practical engineering design solutions. In year three, you will study on our campus in China or Malaysia where you will study topics like advanced engineering mathematics and analogue electronics, 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.
