Collaborative research in Electrical and Electronic Engineering holds the key to solving a range of significant problems by tackling issues such as developing bionic implants, energy efficient telecommunications, sensor networks for irrigation and water resource management, future grid, electronics and photonics, neuroengineering, and ultra-broadband wireless and optical communications. Electrical engineers play a key role in the design, implementation and management of systems that exploit electrical phenomena to solve practical problems. These include systems for automation, surveillance, energy conversion, power distribution, telecommunications and information processing, on both very large and very small scales. You will develop technical skills through fundamental theory and practical laboratory work, learning from leading experts in the field, who work in partnership with organisations such as IBM and Alcatel-Lucent’s Bell Labs. You will have the opportunity to take part in research under the guidance of leaders in electronic and photonic system design, telecommunications, power networks, signal processing and automatic control systems.
