    Master

  • Duration

    4 Years

Our course gives you a combination of fundamental skills in electronic engineering with advanced knowledge of systems engineering.

You’ll design, make and test electronic systems and get hands-on experience in integrated circuit design and advanced printed circuit boards. Throughout your studies, you’ll develop a strong theoretical and practical knowledge of the subject. This basis will help you become proficient in a range of systems including marine, land and airborne platforms, embedded software systems, and navigation systems.

Group and individual projects are a key feature of your degree. They encourage you to explore new areas of engineering while solving industry-focused problems. You could specialise in topics such as sensors, autonomous systems or electric vehicles. The technical, teamwork and management skills you gain will prepare you for a career as a systems engineer in industry.

Our partnership with the UK Electronics Skills Foundation gives you access to scholarships with leading companies such as ARM, Ericsson and Qualcomm.

Our MEng degrees give you an in-depth study experience through advanced taught units and project work and fulfil the educational requirements you need to become a Chartered Engineer.

We also offer this course with a placement year, giving you the opportunity to gain work experience as part of your degree.
