Electronic Engineering with International Study MEng

The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.

Once registered as studying with your overseas host university you will receive primary support from them and full access to the facilities they provide to all students. You are required to maintain contact with the overseas coordinator and Student Services at Exeter through your Exeter email account and of course you have continuing access to all our facilities via your Exehub account.

Assessment of all overseas modules will take place in English but some host destinations occasionally require presentations and a synopsis of work in their language. It is essential that all students have the minimum language skills required to communicate successfully in the foreign environment. For students intending to study in countries for which the FLC offers tuition it is mandatory to take and pass the appropriate module prior to departure.

Projects will be set and assessed by the project supervisor assigned to you by your chosen host University. We ask our overseas partners to assign project supervisors as early as possible to permit joint exploration of the nature of the project prior to arrival. There is a moderation process in place at Exeter in order to ensure uniformity and fairness across projects which may be coming from several different countries.

The modules Engineering in European Society and Engineering in International Society are taught by directed learning remotely through email exchange with students on an individual basis and full access to the facilities and services provided by their host. Assessment is fully at Exeter.

By the end of this year's course you will have experienced your first encounter with "Solidworks" as well as gained more experience with AutoCAD, have been introduced to every phase involved in engineering a new artefact and will be more confident in writing and presenting your findings. Speakers from engineering institutions also visit to offer an introduction to the benefits of joining their professional bodies.

From the second year onwards the core and optional modules start to take a more specialised pathway with a focus on your chosen degree

By year three, you will have narrowed down your specialisms to two of the following areas: communications engineering, electromagnetics, CAD, and consumer electronics engineering. You will carry out an individual project under the supervision of a member of academic staff with expertise in your chosen area.

The final year of study for MEng students offers a wide range of advanced specialist modules such as those offering advanced practical project work this year and courses such as Industrial Case Studies which gives you the opportunity to visit companies, learning hands-on skills from top-class manufacturing experts.
