Course summary


Your study will cover theoretical and practical aspects across the range of electrical and electronic engineering. The core topics in this course include power systems, power electronics, digital electronics, circuits and devices, electrical machines and drives. In addition to the individual project in the third year you will work on a more research based group project in your fourth year.


Become a specialist in the design of devices and systems that make modern life possible, with a masters degree in electrical and electronic engineering.

Learn to understand electrical and electronic devices that make the human world go round: from machines and power systems like wind turbines, devices such as lasers, microprocessors and computers, to communication systems like 5G mobile networks.With a masters course, you’ll not only explore the theoretical and practical engineering of these devices – you’ll become an expert.Practical experience is key to our teaching. As a first year you’ll take part in the faculty's Global Engineering Challenge to solve a real-world problem. In your second year, you’ll work on a week-long project devised by an industry partner called Engineering You’re Hired – and you’ll get the chance to work with an engineering company through the semester-long Sheffield Industrial Project Scheme.At the end of your second year you can specialise or continue to focus on general electrical and electronic engineering.Final year modules focus on the application of scientific knowledge to industry. You’ll work in a multidisciplinary team on research, led by an academic but with industry input. This group project will enhance your employability by developing practical transferable skills like team working, decision making, problem solving and communication.Because we focus on developing your employability, 97.3% of our students go on to graduate-level work or further study within 15 months of graduating (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2020/21).
