Electronics and Computer Engineering (with Industrial Project) MEng (Hons)

This four-year MEng degree in electronics and computer engineering integrates a year of Master’s-level study and an industrial placement. Your first three years mirror those of our Electronics and Computer Engineering BEng degree. You study elements from our common curriculum in electronic engineering, alongside computer engineering topics such as the processing of signals. You complement this with specialist topics including: real-time programming; website creation and management; this degree focuses on developing electronic systems that involve hardware and software working together. You will develop skills in Java and GUI programming. In the fourth year, you complete an industrial placement in the UK or abroad, helping you boosts your CV and develops industry contacts. You complete design projects to showcase your skills to future employers. For example, developing multi-biometric systems for face recognition. Electrical and electronic engineers are in demand with employers within the UK and overseas. Within electrical engineering the main employment areas include electrical supply and distribution, power systems, transport and electrical machinery. Opportunities within electronics exist in electronic circuit design, instrumentation and control for safety on industrial plants, e.g. manufacturing, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, mobile technology, automotive and aviation electronics and medical systems. Some graduates enter a related field as IT professionals. Popular areas outside of engineering include commercial, industrial and public sector management.
