Electronic Engineering with Industrial Experience

Overview

Modern electronics requires an understanding of fundamental analogue and digital circuits to enable the design of elements that can be connected together to make small systems, which serve as the modular blocks for bigger, more complex systems. 

We live in an information age.  Complex systems require digital signal processing (for images, audio and other signals).  Technological developments in communications include concurrent processing (to allow the manipulation of the massive amounts of data), data networking and digital communication systems for both local distribution and across the internet.

There are many reasons why we encourage students to spend a period in industry during their undergraduate degree course. Time in industry will develop your business, team-working and transferable skills - all of which are sought after by graduate employers. Industrial experience will increase your awareness of the broad range of careers on offer and guide your choice of option subjects.

Special Features

• The MEng Electronic Engineering with Industrial Experience programme offered at The University of Manchester fourth year includes a team project directly funded by industry or inspired by industrial needs.

• You will have opportunity to learn from academics working on the cutting edge of research solving the world's biggest challenges.

• Past projects have included developing an Instrumented training wheelchair for para-athletes, creating a new core infrastructure for a Robot Orchestra and developing a Cyber-secure electricity management system in smart cities.

Career opportunitites

Skills of the students who obtained a degree in Electronic Engineering are sought after in a wide range of industries.

Some of the activities that the graduates from this course are involved with include:
