Master of Research in Electrical and Electronic Engineering MRes

This course builds on our world-class research work in electrical and electronic engineering, materials and devices, robotics, mechatronics, computer networks and telecommunications, big data, and informatics. It is funded by the European Union, Research Councils, Royal Society, Knowledge Transfer Programmes, and industrial companies. The course provides knowledge, experience and skills that are essential for research and development work. It is research-oriented, with 80% of the time spent on a research project and the other 20% on taught modules. It is designed to develop key research skills, build up in-depth technical knowledge and understanding as well as project management skills, communications skills and presentation skills. Students can choose the project, either as a part of ongoing research work in our research laboratories or in our partner industrial companies. This course can also be tailored as an in-house course. On successful completion of the course, students can either continue to MPhil/ PhD studies or work in the research and development or technical support sections in industry such as electrical and electronic engineering, computer networks, telecommunications, and other engineering disciplines. LSBU is committed to supporting students to develop their employability and succeed in getting a job after they have graduated. Their qualification will certainly help, but in a competitive market students also need to work on their employability, and on their career search.
