Overview

Master the key elements of contemporary electronic and electrical engineering with this accredited MSc Electronic and Electrical Engineering course. You'll design and implement electronic systems, work with the practical application of current technology, and upgrade your skills to meet the needs of more ambitious roles in your industry.

You'll learn about key topics in electronic and electrical engineering, such as electrical power systems technology, and the practical application and design aspects of electronic systems, on a course designed to meet a skills shortage in the sector. You'll graduate in an excellent position to pursue roles from product design to aerospace engineering.

Course highlights

  • Follow a programme that is recognised by European and UK accrediting bodies, and is designed to shape your skills to the needs of the electronic and electrical engineering sector
  • Learn more about the practical design and application of your electronic and electrical engineering study, using professional-standard tools, simulation software and laboratory equipment
  • Plan and complete a master's project in your area of interest, using relevant labs or computer suites in the School of Energy and Electronic Engineering or an industrial company, to deliver a significant, in-depth piece of analysis or design
  • Explore key industry themes, such as Electrical Power Systems Technology, Advanced DSP Techniques, Electrical Machines and Drives, and Sensors and Measurement Systems

Careers and opportunities

Because electronic and electrical engineering skills are in global demand, you'll be in a strong position to secure employment when you graduate successfully. Here in the UK, EngineeringUK has identified both electrical engineers and electronic engineers as careers with a shortage of skilled entrants, which means you can expect your salary to reflect your postgraduate qualification.

Career routes you could explore with a Master's in electronic and electrical engineering include:

  • Electronics engineer
  • Product design engineer
