Electrical and electronic engineers are driving innovations that address some of the world’s most critical challenges, from progressing renewable energy solutions to shaping the future of smart cities and automation. Designed in consultation with our Industry Advisory Board, this MSc in Electronic and Electrical Engineering advances your technical expertise and theoretical knowledge in areas directly aligned with national and international priorities, such as the transition to smart grids, 6G networks and sustainable energy systems.
Our general engineering ethos and broad range of modules mean that your learning is inter-disciplinary. Although you are specialising in electronic and electrical engineering, you will benefit from working with other engineers, which is often a requirement of working in industry and greatly enhances your attractiveness to future employers.
Graduates of this MSc will be on a clear pathway toward achieving Chartered Engineer status. This is a new Master’s programme and we are pursuing accreditation with the IET.
2:2 Hons degree (UK or equivalent) in a related engineering discipline with a significant amount of both digital and analogue electronics content, which may include some communications, electrical engineering, computer systems and physics courses.
We may also consider non-standard applicants when accompanied by significant experience in a relevant technical field. For UK applicants, a HND together with appropriate practical experience may also be acceptable. Please contact us for further information.
Relevant work experience in any practicing Engineering position requiring the application of technical skills is desirable but not essential.
