Quick Facts:

• The first two years follow a core programme in areas such as circuits, systems, networks and high-level programming. You will learn to program in C++ and become familiar with software design, programming concepts and tool use – skills that are transferable to any programming language/environment that you encounter.
• Some of the core modules are delivered jointly with students on our Electrical and Electronic Engineering courses, others are designed specifically for Electrical and Information Engineering students, and some are taught by the Department of Computing.
• MEng students have the option to complete a six-month industrial placement, gaining valuable skills and experience by solving real engineering problems. Alternatively, you can take part in a three-month group project, acting as technical consultants to a brief provided by an industrial client. This involves specifying and designing, implementing and testing a pre-production prototype of a new product or technical solution.
• In every industry where you find modern technology, you’ll also find our graduates. Because of the diversity of our field, our students go on to careers in every type of organisation you could imagine, from energy suppliers to investment banks, from computer game designers to car manufacturers.
