Engineering (Electronic and Electrical) MEng (Hons)

Electronic and electrical engineers invent and create the technology that typifies today's high-tech society, and this four-year programme provides a thorough coverage of the theory, devices and systems that underpin it. Applying for the MEng provides the most flexibility with the opportunity to specialise at the end of year two.

Accreditation

All our MEng programmes have been accredited by the IET as fully meeting the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Your learning

Your modules will be taught in several ways: some highly innovative and some, such as lectures, more traditional. We are among the first in the country to introduce a scenario-based learning approach, enabling students to put their learning into practice. In years one and two you will attend tutorials, while in years three and four you have project supervision sessions with an academic member of staff.

Assessment

Modules are examined in the summer term of each year. In many cases a proportion of the total mark is allocated for laboratory and coursework.

Careers

The breadth of employment opportunities our graduates enjoy proves the value of your UCL degree. The sound grounding in numeracy, problem-solving, industry, computing and other technical matters that is involved in the programme is highly regarded by employers.

Careers for graduates of this programme are available in diverse environments such as the electronics industries in the UK, Europe and East Asia. You may wish to start your own business in software design or production or join a financial or trading institution.

Graduating with a MEng you may, depending on your chosen career path, consider further study for a PhD or another master’s programme. Our MScs offer the option of a very focused education in a specialist field.
