About this course
Master of Engineering in Electronic Engineering, an undergraduate degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology as meeting the requirements for Chartered Engineer registration and incorporates industry placement opportunities alongside project work. The first year establishes fundamental mathematical and physical principles through compulsory modules such as Circuits, Digital Systems, Electronic Systems and Devices, Engineering Mathematics, and Programming. The second year advances core knowledge in electromechanical systems with modules including Applied Electromagnetism, Communications, Control and Systems Engineering, Design, Electronic and Computer Systems, and Signal Processing. The third year deepens technical capabilities through compulsory studies like Digital IC and Systems Design, Foundations of Machine Learning, Nanoelectronic Devices, and a multi-phase Individual Project, while offering optional modules covering topics such as Advanced Computer Architecture, Biosensors and Diagnostics, and Green Electronics. The final year centres on advanced application and collaborative practice via the Group Design Project and Industrial Studies, alongside specialised optional modules including Computer Vision (MSc), Intelligent Mobile Robotics, and Microfabrication.
