Combine theory and hands-on practice across electrical and electronic engineering, covering power systems, electronics, circuits, machines and drives. Build your skills through individual projects in Year 3 and a research-focused group project in Year 4.

Discover the technology that powers modern life with an integrated master’s degree in electrical and electronic engineering. From semiconductor chips and electric motors to smartphones and electric vehicles, this discipline underpins the systems that keep the world moving.

Informed by world-leading research and designed with input from industry partners, this four-year course gives you advanced technical expertise and hands-on experience, preparing you for a successful career in engineering and beyond.

You will learn through lectures, labs, tutorials and projects, many of which take place in The Diamond building – our cutting-edge teaching facility. You’ll also gain practical skills using industry standard equipment in our Electronics and Control Lab, Teaching Cleanroom and Computer Labs.

In Year 1, you will build a strong foundation in systems modelling, computing, circuits, and analogue and digital electronics, alongside teamwork and project skills.

In Year 2, you will explore design projects, communications, embedded systems and circuits, with options in energy conversion and hardware/software design.

In Year 3, you can tailor your degree by specialising in one of four specialisations:

Electrical and Electronic Engineering (eg power electronics, energy systems, semiconductor electronics and devices)

Electrical Engineering (eg electromechanical machines, control systems, energy systems)

Electronic Engineering (eg semiconductor devices, integrated electronic and semiconductor systems, digital signal processing)

Communications (eg wireless communications systems, digital signal processing, integrated electronics)

In Year 4, you'll deepen your expertise through an advanced group project and further study in your chosen specialisation, developing the skills and insight to tackle complex engineering challenges.

Our graduates are highly sought after by leading companies such as ARM, Jaguar Land Rover, Siemens, National Grid, Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems, as well as global consultancies and innovative start-ups.
