The electronics industry is global, and makes a huge contribution to the economy, it is a crucial subject in a wide range of industries as it's at the heart of everything from manufacturing processes, to the provision of services, green technologies, and logistics management. These industries are looking to the future of engineering, and this is where you could come in. This STEM course aims to give you the underpinning skills to be at the forefront of the future of engineering and open up lots of career options within the electronic engineering industry, where you could make a difference to the world we live in. By studying this course to MEng level you'll have the chance to gain the underpinning leadership skills to manage future developments.
The integrated Master’s MEng course has higher entry requirements than the BEng route. You’ll study for an extra year, with the aim of giving you a deeper understanding of your subject, and learning crucial management skills.
Both the MEng and the BEng are designed to give you a broad understanding of electronic systems, communications and control. We’ll look at:
Electronic systems
Communications and control
Digital and analogue systems
Embedded computer-based systems
On top of this you’ll have lots of opportunities to carry out practical work and you'll explore aspects such as, complex communications and digital technology. Plus in your third year, or fourth if you take a placement, you’ll be able to research a specialised area of your choice in depth.
You’ll be taught by professional engineers, and supported by our technicians many of whom have worked in the industry. If you find you have an interest in an area you may not have encountered before, the first year is common with the other courses in our Electronic Engineering suite. This means there is the opportunity for you to switch degrees to one of our other electronic engineering specialisms
The course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council. That means you could become a registered Chartered Engineer (CEng).
After the second year of your course you’ll be given the chance to take a year’s placement working in industry. It could be the ideal opportunity to develop your skills even further to help you when you apply for a job after graduating. In your final year of your integrated Master’s you’ll also study modules such as finance and project management, aiming to give you a good grounding to become a manager in this vital field.
