Electrical and electronic engineers are driving innovations that address some of the world’s most critical challenges, from advancing renewable energy solutions to shaping the future of smart cities and automation. This MSc in Electronic and Electrical Engineering advances your technical expertise and practical experience to excel in these fields and helps you achieve engineering chartership. 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.



Who is this programme for? Those with a first degree in electronic, electrical or both engineering disciplines, but also applicable to students with physics or computer science degrees.



Looking ahead to employability You’ll graduate with a wide range of transferable skills, including creative problem-solving, project management, and the confidence to apply both practical and technical knowledge in a rapidly evolving industry. These skills are gained through:

  • Working on industry-linked projects, collaborating with other engineers and presenting your findings
  • A focus on practical work in our state-of-the-art labs. You could be designing and building RF filters; using the chip arm to balance a ball on a vibrating beam; or using LabVIEW to monitor and stabilise temperatures
  • Honing your experience of using professional software like Microwave Office; programming the ARM CortexM0+ microprocessor, taking microwave measurements using network analysers; or interfacing using LabVIEW
  • Understanding industry relevant design choices, like cost, manufacturability, legal, environmental and end use aspects.


What to expect This MSc in Electronic and Electrical Engineering offers a flexible, specialised pathway into the industry, with core modules covering cutting-edge technologies like electrical power system modelling and simulation; design and application of intelligent control systems; the principles of advanced embedded systems; high frequency electronics focusing on RF and mm-wave circuit design. We offer a range of optional modules where you can specialise in areas that interest you. This is a great opportunity to explore areas of engineering that may not have been covered in your first degree such as machine learning or interfacing and integrating where you learn about visual programming using LabView. Your dissertation project will take place within one of our world-leading research groups.



At the end of your Master’s degree you will have the tools and techniques needed for a successful career in electronic and electrical engineering, alongside an advanced understanding of real-world applications in sectors like aerospace, telecommunications, and energy.
