Electronic Engineering MEng

“Here in Britain, we’re not training up enough engineers to fill the jobs that we have today, let alone the jobs we’ll need in fifty years’ time. And it’s not a problem limited to the UK; Germany, Switzerland, and the US have all expressed concerns about the shortage of good engineering talent.” Sir James Dyson
MEng Awards are integrated master’s programmes which are treated for funding purposes as undergraduate degrees. The additional study involved in an MEng Award in comparison with a BEng Honours award aims to provide the opportunity to develop the potential to be a leader in the engineering profession and within the engineering industry.
To recognise the importance of employability skills, our Electronic Engineering degree will focus heavily on developing the competences that employers want such as effective team working, excellent communication skills, and confident presentation skills.
You will work in our brand new electrical and electronic laboratory facilities and you will have access to state-of-the-art hardware platforms and software tools in telecommunications, instrumentation and control systems, VLSI design and embedded software, and PCB design and manufacture.
You will also have the option to undertake a work placement after completing your second year to develop your employability skills in a working environment, gain invaluable practical experience, and position you favourably for graduate roles. Our close links with many high profile companies mean we can help you secure your work placement. During your third year, you will complete an independent engineering project along with specialist modules in your areas of interest.
Final year modules include MEng Group Project: intended to develop your ability to work in a high performing engineering team while a series of industrially related case studies will enable students to meet state of the art research materials within a relevant context.
