Aerospace Electronic Engineering, MEng (Hons), with industry placement

Our MEng Aerospace Electronic Engineering degree offers an optional year in industry after Year 2 or 3, assessed by academics and experts, providing a competitive advantage by linking academic knowledge to real-world applications. This five-year programme equips students with essential theoretical and practical skills for aerospace and spacecraft systems, covering key topics such as electronic circuits, flight mechanics, radar techniques, guidance and control, space systems, digital systems, programming, and mathematics. Students will design and build innovative aerospace systems in their third-year project, collaborating with leading researchers.The course allows tailoring through core modules in the first two years and optional modules in Years 3 and 4, focusing on advanced electronic engineering. Assessment includes exams, tests, design exercises, presentations, and group work. Ranked in the UK top 5 for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, preparing graduates for diverse careers with strong employer connections and support via careers fairs and incubators.

This five-year MEng programme including a year in industry has been designed to maximise student choice by allowing you to tailor the degree structure to suit your own interests. During the first two years you will undertake a series of core modules, for example electronic circuits and systems, flight mechanics and aerospace systems, radar techniques and applications, digital systems and microprocessors, programming and computer engineering, devices and solid state electronics and mathematics. In your third and fourth years of study you can choose from a wide range of optional modules that reflect the specialist areas of electronic engineering that will take you to the leading edge of technology sought by industry. You will also work on an individual project with one of our research groups which will allow you to work at the frontier of knowledge.
