Course overview

Studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering allows you to specialise in subjects as diverse as power generation and transmission, and antennas and digital systems design, preparing you for an exciting career within the world of modern electronics.

INTRODUCTION

Electrical engineering is not simply about the production and transmission of electrical energy, but also about how it is used. In both its transmission and usage there are significant and increasing challenges facing electrical engineers, many related to sustainability and the environment.

This programme is designed for students with an interest in communications engineering and associated electronics, covering a wide range of topics in electronic and communications engineering.

You will learn through the practical application of concepts and theory, always with awareness of their relevance to the real world.

The MEng is an enhanced BEng programme, which means that you have an extra year to study advanced topics and undertake a group project based on the needs of industry.

This programme includes a placement year, during which you will spend time working in an engineering company. This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical engineering experience.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering students graduate with skills sought after by a wide range of employers who are actively seeking engineers.

Careers and employability

Graduates of this degree programme go on to a wide range of careers: you may be responsible for planning the electricity distribution network, or you may be designing the electronics of the next ‘must have’ item. It is an exciting time for the electronic and communications industry, with new and innovative products coming out every day.

Recent employers include:

  • ARM Holdings Ltd
  • British Nuclear Group
  • Deva Electronic Controls
  • Energetix Group PLC
