MEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering

OverviewThe MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering is a 5-year programme, which shares a common structure with the BEng degree for the first 3 years. Students study a broad-based range of topics from low current electronics to high power systems. At the end of year 3, candidates are selected to progress to the MEng course for a further 2 years of study.During the 4th and 5th years, technical studies are advanced to a master’s level and the syllabus is greatly extended in the area of engineering management. A six-month industrial placement takes place over summer, after 4th year, and runs until the end of the first semester of the final year.Our teaching philosophyThe philosophy behind all our programmes is ‘learning by doing’. Our programmes are designed to be practical and allow students to develop skills beyond traditional academic content. Students work on both individual and group projects from the third year onwards, providing them with valuable hands-on experience. The projects challenge you to solve a ‘real life’ problem – such as the project in which our students helped design an electronic egg to monitor penguin incubation.AccreditationAccredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.EmployabilityIn highly skilled work100% of those are in highly skilled work 15 months after graduating.SalaryThe average salary of students 15 months after graduating: £28000The average UK salary of students 15 months after graduating from a similar course: £28000JobsThese are the most common jobs students go into 15 months after graduating:Engineering professionalsInformation technology and telecommunications professionals
