The MEng (Honours) programme in Electrical and Electronic Engineering delivers a breadth of skills and knowledge over four years of study and includes industrially-relevant group and individual projects in the final year.
The programme aims to:
- produce graduates who have a greater breadth and focused depth of knowledge and understanding of Electrical and Electronic Engineering area;
- enable students to undertake and complete a major piece of independent research work on a given topic at a level appropriate to a Masters degree.
The programme provides a sound foundation for people wishing to pursue a career in electrical engineering, communications, control systems, robotics or sensor systems, through a diverse range of theoretical skills and practical experience, presented in the context of real applications and design experience.

Teaching and Assessment
Teaching:
The course is mainly taught by staff from the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences. The course also includes lectures from experts from the industrial sector who explain how technologies are currently being used in industry to solve real world problems. The course is taught in formal lectures, seminars and tutorials, supplemented by an engineering applications course, involving laboratory and group projects.
All students are required to undertake a project. This is often associated with the design, construction and costing of an electrical device to satisfy a given specification, or it may be a more fundamental investigation connected with one of our research groups' interests.
Project work normally requires the equivalent of more than one day per week spent in the laboratory. Recent student projects include the design of control systems, image based lane following in autonomous vehicle navigation, neural networks for financial forecasting and optical fibres instrumentation.
Increased breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding is assured by providing appropriate core and a wide choice of elective modules, all at M level, in Parts 3 and 4. In addition, industrial relevance and breadth of study is provided by study of engineering management (at all parts) and industrial topics, and by doing enhanced industrially-relevant group and individual projects. The Individual project combines the skills and knowledge obtained in the Programme. The students are encouraged to present the design process and perform comprehensive testing of the developed applications and analyse in detail the existing technological solutions.
An enhanced programme of Engineering Management in Parts 3 and 4 provides students with extensive knowledge and understanding of business practices in the engineering profession, including project management, time management, supply chain, enterprise management. These may be further enhanced by a year placement industry through a sandwich option supported by the programme (UCAS code H605). An enhanced capability for independent learning and work, and self-management is fostered through major group and individual projects and design work in Parts 3 and 4.
Assessment:
The course is assessed through examinations, coursework, laboratory reports and project reports. The final degree classification is based on marks obtained in the second, third and fourth year.
