Overview
Electronic and Electrical Engineering (MEng) 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 on to 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 course is very well regarded by employers and accredited. It 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.
