Course Description
Electronic and Electrical Engineering is integral to and embedded in the smooth functioning of our everyday lives.
From mobile phones and computing through to household gadgets, healthcare equipment, automotive and aerospace technology, renewables and transport infrastructure, defence and utility provision. From the light bulb to the internet, it is impossible to imagine a world without electricity and electronics. A modern integrated circuit may contain several billion miniaturised transistors in a few square centimetres and is capable of doing the most extraordinary things.
Our long-established Electronics and Electrical Engineering degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and is very well regarded by employers. The course will provide a thorough grounding in the subjects required to invent, design, apply and integrate electrical and electronic components and systems in a range of different industrial sectors.
What's the difference between MEng and BEng?
The MEng Electronic and Electrical Engineering degree is aimed at the most ambitious of students who wish to develop high-flying careers within different industrial sectors and to become the future leaders of industry in companies concerned with the design, development and application of electronic and electrical systems. The MEng course is the preferred route to achieving Chartered Engineer status.
The structure of the first two years are common between the BEng and MEng and provide you with engineering and electrical science core skills, combined with electronic digital systems and programming modules. The application of engineering and electrical science shared with the solution of industrial problems is a strong theme throughout the courses.
The MEng structure is distinct from the BEng course in the third and fourth academic years, providing enhanced opportunities to study your chosen specialist subjects in depth. In addition, MEng students follow extra modules in business management and application of management theory.
The MEng courses allow high calibre students to develop their understanding of the role of electronic and electrical engineering in the industrial context, over and beyond that of the BEng courses.
