Description

  • Type

    Master

  • Location

    London

  • Duration

    4 Years

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). In the first and second years you will cover material fundamental to electronic and electrical engineering. You will make your final choice between the BEng or one of the MEng programmes towards the end of the second year. You will have the choice of the following routes: with Communications; with Computer Science; with Nanotechnology; or the International Programme. Applying initially for a MEng will give you the most control over your plans. The International Programme enables students to spend their third year in a selected university in Europe (France, Germany, Spain, Italy), the USA or Australia. Project work is undertaken every year, and your final year will include a substantial project. The work is varied. There are projects to suit all tastes, ranging from original research to intricate design and development of software and devices.

About this course

You will benefit from the intellectual challenge and stimulation deriving from our world-class research. You will have access to state-of-the-art software and instruments in our extensive teaching laboratories. We offer professional practice sessions, a three-day residential course, and opportunities for team work. The degree is part of an integrated programme across engineering providing you with opportunities to broaden your horizons through interactions with other disciplines. There is also the flexibility to add a specialism to your MEng programme towards the end of year two, to match your evolving interests.

The breadth of employment opportunities our graduates enjoy proves the value of your UCL degree. The sound grounding in numeracy, problem-solving, industry, computing and other technical matters that is involved in the programme is highly regarded by employers. Careers for graduates of this programme are available in diverse environments such as the electronics industries in the UK, Europe and East Asia. You may wish to start your own business in software design or production or join a financial or trading institution. Graduating with a MEng you may, depending on your chosen career path, consider further study for a PhD or another Master's programme. Our MScs offer the option of a very focused education in a specialist field.

English Language and Mathematics at grade C or 5. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required.

All our MEng programmes have been accredited by the IET as fully meeting the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Your learning

Your modules will be taught in a number of ways: some highly innovative and some, such as lectures, more traditional. We are among the first in the country to introduce a scenario-based learning approach, enabling students to put their learning into practice. In years one and two you will attend tutorials, while in years three and four you have project supervision sessions with an academic member of staff.

Assessment

Modules are examined in the summer term of each year. In many cases a proportion of the total mark is allocated for laboratory and coursework.
