Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Study a range of topics from low current electronics to high power systems. Opportunity to begin a six-month industrial placement in the summer before Year 5. We were recently ranked 1st in the UK for Electrical and Electronic Engineering in the Daily Mail University Guide 2026, reflecting the exceptional quality of our teaching, research, and industry engagement in the field.

MEng (hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering provides you with a broad-based education in the subject, and develops your critical understanding of the core theories, principles and concepts relating to the use of engineering and computer technology. You’ll integrate engineering principles with the knowledge and understanding of mathematics, science, and management to adopt a holistic approach to solve current and emerging electrical engineering problems. During the first three years students study topics from low current electronics to high power systems.

During the 4th and 5th years, your technical studies are advanced to a Masters level and the syllabus is greatly extended in the area of engineering management. You will also have the opportunity to complete a six-month industry placement during your final two years, and complete advanced courses in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Mechanical Engineering. The undergraduate programme will make you aware of the range of functions a qualified engineer can fulfil, whilst exploring industry-specific design techniques and software packages.
