Have you ever thought about how satellites connect the world, how robots can think, or how future cars and smart cities will communicate? Do you wonder how we can design sustainable electrical systems to transform lives? These are the questions that drive today’s engineers, and you could help answer them.

Electrical and electronic engineering is at the heart of the technologies shaping how we live, work and connect. It focuses on how electricity is used to control, process and transmit information. This powers everything from smartphones and medical equipment to communication networks and smart systems.

On our MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering course, you’ll learn to design intelligent, connected and sustainable systems.

You’ll explore key areas such as:

  • embedded systems
  • communications
  • robotics
  • control engineering
  • power systems.


Alongside this, you’ll build strong foundations in mathematics, programming and electronics. These skills help you solve complex engineering problems with confidence.

Teaching is practical and hands-on. You’ll learn through lab work, team projects and real-world challenges that bring theory to life. You’ll also explore emerging areas such as data analysis and intelligent systems, including technologies that connect and share data to improve efficiency.

Examples include:

  • smart home devices
  • wearable tech
  • connected cars
  • city-wide systems.

We work closely with employers and professional bodies to make sure what you learn is up to date and help you build the skills employers want. You’ll benefit from guest talks, industry input and opportunities to engage with live industrial projects. There is also the option to take a year-long industrial placement or study abroad, helping you broaden your experience and build global perspectives.

By the time you graduate, you’ll have the confidence, technical ability and professional awareness to succeed in a fast-moving global industry.
