MEng Electronic Engineering

Description:
This Masters level course is ideal for applicants who wish to gain further academic knowledge and hands-on practical experience as part of their degree.

The MEng programme starts to differ from the BEng at the end of the second year with emphasis on project work. In the third year, there is extensive laboratory work which is focused on preparing students for a futher research or industry based project taken during the fourth year. Other modules offered at this stage include topics such as advanced digital signal processing, advanced communications, networking and reliability engineering as well as power electronics and advanced motor control.
