Electronic Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Electronic engineers design, develop, test, and supervise the production of technologies such as drones, electric vehicles, smartphones, navigation systems, and hospital equipment. Our program provides diverse opportunities to build expertise in electronics through laboratory projects, individual and team-based activities. Students will gain skills in project management and apply technical knowledge to address complex challenges. With rapid advancements in technology, graduates will be prepared to innovate and advance future electrical control systems. All electrical and electronic courses share the same curriculum in the first two years, enabling specialization in preferred topics from the third year. The four-year MEng program offers a deeper insight into electrical engineering, serving as the preferred route to Chartered Engineer status compared to the BEng option.In the second year, students enhance their understanding of electronic engineering and develop design skills through various laboratory subjects. The third year allows selection from a range of specialist topics for broad or focused study. In the final year, participants explore state-of-the-art technologies and undertake an individual research project, often contributing to departmental industrial initiatives. The program combines lectures, group studies, tutorials, coursework, and self-study, potentially requiring over 40 hours weekly.
