The MEng allows you to study your areas of interest in more depth and also gives you the time to widen your knowledge of both electrical and electronic engineering and other subjects including management.

This degree leads more directly to Chartered Engineer status and it is the choice programme for a career in engineering management.

Programme in detail

The first two years of the MEng and BEng programmes are identical and there is some flexibility to allow switching between programmes, although a higher academic performance is expected for the MEng. In the third year you will study core modules including analogue and digital communications, embedded computer architecture and total quality management. In the final year the core modules are advanced signal processing, information theory and coding, management of design and management of product development.

In both years you also choose additional lectures from a list of about 30 module options. Practical project work is very important and you will do a group project in Year Three followed by a major individual project in the final year.
