Overview

Thanks to the breadth of research we carry out in the department, we offer doctorates across a wide range of topics in electrical engineering from nanotechnology and novel materials, to circuits and systems, radar, communications, photonics and optical networks and large scale networks. We collaborate widely, both with other departments in UCL, and internationally with leading research groups around the world.

Careers

Many of our recent PhD graduates have taken up positions as postdoctoral researchers at leading universities, whilst others continue their research careers in industry. A significant number use the PhD as a stepping stone to careers in other sectors, including management consultancy and finance. Several have started up their own businesses and become successful entrepreneurs.

Employability

Our research students are in high demand post-graduation, going on to take up careers in industry, in academic research as postdoctoral researchers, and in many cases continuing to permanent academic positions at such institutions as the University of Liverpool; Queen Mary, University of London; University of British Columbia; Aston University; City University and the University of Hokkaido. Many of our students have taken up senior positions in industry at such companies as Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia-Siemens, Deutsche Telekom, and some have taken up Directorships. Several graduates have been awarded prestigious fellowships, including Royal Academy of Engineering and Royal Society University Fellowships, Leverhulme Trust Early Career Awards and EPSRC Fellowships.
