Why MEng Electronic Engineering?
Imagine a world without electricity or electronic devices. It is easy to see why electrical and electronic engineering is vital to our survival and the development of future technologies. Electronic engineers play a vital role in the design, development, distribution and eventual recycling of numerous everyday products. As a result, qualified electrical and electronic engineers are in demand.
Why Study Our Course?
This course is developed alongside the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and major partner employers. This means that you will graduate with the skills and knowledge to go into a successful career in this dynamic sector.
You will study digital and analogue electronics, mathematics and computer programming, and the application of electronics in a range of environments. As you progress, you will examine signal processing, micro-controllers, communications, control systems and digital hardware design. Alongside, you will develop professional skills in project planning, group work and communication.
Real World Experience
Throughout the course, you will apply knowledge through practical projects in our state-of-the-art facilities. You will get an inside track on the industry through factory tours and professional briefings from leading organisations. We also arrange Careers Fairs and engineer 'speed dating' events to help you find work as soon as you graduate.
Where It Can Take You
On graduation, you can go on to a career designing electrical and electronic systems; working on consumer technology; or solving engineering problems for communications and power generation/distribution companies. Opportunities are also available in technology, manufacturing, transport and rail, aviation and a host of other industries.

Please also note this structure is for the full-time course delivery only. For part-time delivery, the same modules will be studied. However, the structure will differ.

The University continually enhances our offer by responding to feedback from our students and other stakeholders, ensuring the curriculum is kept up to date and our graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need for the real world.

Learning and Teaching

Learning methods include lectures, seminars, tutorials, laboratory work, case studies and mini-projects with a mixture of group and individual activities optimised for the particular subject area.

Study time

Part-time students

This course is available to study on a part-time day release basis. Modules are structured to allow you to attend lectures and tutorial sessions one day per week therefore minimising the time spent away from the work place.

Students generally join the course with an HNC in Electronic Engineering or equivalent, which means that you are exempted from Level 1 of the course, and can gain the degree in three to four years at UWE Bristol. The course structure changes year from year, so you might find some variation between here and the final version of your course.

A key benefit of studying part-time means you can put your learning directly into practice, and where possible you can use work-related problems in projects.

Assessment

Assessment is generally by a mixture of coursework, assignments and examinations.
