Master in Electrical Engineering (MEng)

Project-based learning combined with strong industry collaboration gives students direct experience in real-world engineering challenges, supported by access to advanced research labs and centres of excellence. Partnerships with leading companies and research institutes allow students to work on applied projects that reflect current market needs.

Graduates move into roles such as research and development scientists, project managers, consultants, or engineers in telecommunications, power generation, semiconductor manufacturing, robotics, aerospace, automotive, renewable energy and computing sectors.

The MEng can be completed as a full-time, in-person programme lasting 16 months or longer. Students may follow a professional, coursework-based pathway or opt for a project route, ending with a final project that demonstrates applied knowledge and prepares graduates for immediate employment.
