Advance your career in a rapidly growing industry with a Master’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Designed to equip you with cutting-edge knowledge and hands-on experience, this course prepares you to tackle complex global challenges in electrical and electronic systems.
You’ll explore specialist areas such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart grids, renewable energy systems, RF and microwave engineering, and sensors and actuators. You’ll apply your learning to real-world scenarios through practical workshops, studio sessions, and research-informed projects, many of which are directly connected to active research within our Centre for Engineering Research in Intelligent Sensors and Systems (CeRISS) and the EUREKA Robotics Centre.
What sets this degree apart is its strong industry integration. Our modules are co-designed and reviewed by industry partners, giving you access to real-world projects, guest lectures, and cutting-edge facilities including robotics labs, IoT test beds, and embedded development kits. You’ll also have opportunities to collaborate on pioneering research and to publish your work in academic conferences or through digital media, enhancing your professional profile.
Applicants should have an Honours degree at least 2:2 or its equivalent in a relevant area, e.g., Engineering, Electronics, Physics, Mathematics or an appropriate specialism.
Equivalence shall be determined by:
International Admissions Team for applicants outside the United Kingdom.
The Programme Director will consider modules studied provided within the applicant’s degree transcript. Other qualifications and those in other subject areas will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and an interview may be required.
Prior work experiences in a related field may compensate the Honours degree 2:2 requirement.
The MSc Electrical and Electronic Engineering is designed to directly prepare you for a successful career in today’s fast-paced technology industries. By combining advanced technical modules with practical, hands-on projects and research-informed teaching, you’ll graduate with both the depth of knowledge and the applied skills that employers value.
Through strong links with local and global industry partners, you’ll benefit from real-world experiences embedded in the programme. Many modules feature expert guest lectures and assessments reviewed by industry panels. You will have the opportunity to collaborate on pioneering projects in smart systems, robotics, IoT, and renewable energy. These experiences not only build your technical expertise but also enhance your problem-solving, teamwork, and project management skills.
Graduates typically progress into roles such as electronics design engineer, RF/microwave engineer, smart systems developer, IoT solutions architect, automation engineer, or renewable energy systems specialist. Many also move into consultancy, technical leadership, or advanced R&D roles in sectors including telecommunications, robotics, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing.
