Electrical and Electronic Engineering MEng

The Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree will prepare you for a career in sectors such as renewable energy, transport, manufacturing, and construction. From the aerospace and automotive sectors to telecommunications and power generation, engineers who are skilled in electrical and electronic engineering are in considerable demand across industry. Our Electrical and Electronic Engineering degrees offer flexible pathways to tailor your studies. You can specialise by taking our individual degrees in Electrical Engineering and Electronic Engineering, which are accredited by the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET). If you are unsure which area suits you, the combined Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree lets you explore both disciplines (Note: Accreditation is currently being sought for the combined pathway). This course is ideal for a career in a range of areas including renewable energy, telecommunications, transport networks, construction and more. In Year 1, your learning will closely mirror our other engineering degrees (Aeronautical, Mechatronics etc.) to ensure you have a solid grounding in engineering principles. In Year 2 you’ll specialise in areas such as advanced electrical and electronic simulation and control. BEng (Hons) students can also take an optional industrial placement. This is a great chance to develop your employability skills and get you ready for potential graduate roles. Our close links with many high profile companies mean that we can help secure placements. In Year 3 you will complete a substantial engineering project. You will also get the chance to present your work to industry and the public at the annual GradEX event. If you choose the integrated MEng degree however, you will complete a substantial industrial-based project before progressing to Masters level study in Year 4. You’ll also be able to take part in events arranged by our professional accrediting body, the IET, as well as benefiting from guest speakers from industry.
