MEng Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Entry requirements
A level: A*AA (A* in Mathematics required, plus either Physics or Further Mathematics preferred as the second subject. Where students have Further Mathematics but not Physics then it is preferable to have Biology, Chemistry, Design and Technology, or Electronics as the third subject.) IB: 39 points (A total of 19 points in three higher level subjects including grade 7 in Mathematics, with no higher level score below 5. The course will accept either ‘Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches’ or ‘Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation’ at higher level. ‘Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches’ is preferred. Higher levels in Physics, Further Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Design and Technology and Electronics preferred.)
About this course
MEng in Electronic and Electrical Engineering, an electrical and electronic engineering degree focused on the hardware, software, and systems underpinning modern technological infrastructure. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Mathematical Modelling, Ethics & Professional Practice, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The four-year programme features an integrated fourth year at master’s level and provides optional routes including a year abroad, an industry placement, or specialisations in Communications, Computer Science, and Nanotechnology. The first year covers fundamental principles through modules such as Introduction to Electronic Engineering, Analog and Power Electronics 1, Digital Electronics 1, and Mathematical Modelling and Analysis 1. The second year advances core knowledge via Digital Design, Photonics and Communication Systems, Programming and Control Systems, and Design and Professional Practice 2, alongside broadening options like Intelligent Systems and Introduction to Robotics. The third year centres on Project I alongside technical options such as Control Systems I, Digital Signal Processing and Systems, and Advanced Digital Design. The final year concludes with Project II and advanced master's-level options including Machine Learning System Design, Analogue CMOS Integrated Circuit Design and Applications, and Radar Systems.
