MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering
About this course
MEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, an electrical and electronic engineering degree focused on hardware, software, and systems integration. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The programme features a common first year shared across cohorts and includes practical group design projects, an optional industrial placement or group consultancy project in the third year, and a substantial independent final-year project. The first year covers foundational principles through compulsory modules such as Mathematics 1A, Analysis and Design of Circuits, Digital and Computer Architecture, Programming for Engineers, and the Electronics Design Project. Year two advances core knowledge with compulsory studies in Signal and Systems, Electromagnetism, Power Electronics and Power Systems, Communications, Control Systems, and Electronics Design Project 2. In the third year, students undertake an I-Explore module, a group consultancy project, and can choose from optional modules spanning Analogue Integrated Circuits and Systems, Biomedical Electronics, Communication Networks, Control Engineering, Deep Learning, Digital Signal Processing, Digital Systems Design, Electrical Energy Systems, Electric Vehicle Technology, Embedded Systems, High Level Programming, Instrumentation, Machine Learning, Machine Reasoning, Mathematics for Signals and Systems, Microwave Technology, Power Electronics, Principles of Classical and Modern Radar, Robotic Manipulation, Semiconductor Devices, and Statistical Signal Processing and Inference. The final year comprises compulsory modules in Engineering Ethics, Sustainability and Professional Competencies alongside an Individual Project, with further specialisation available through optional modules including Adaptive Signal Processing and Machine Intelligence, Coding Theory, Communications: Physical Layer, Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Digital Image Processing, Full-Custom Integrated Circuit Design, Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS), Optimisation, Power System Economics, Sensors, and Sustainable Electrical Systems.
