MEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering

This integrated masters will set you on the path to an exciting career in the rapidly evolving world of electrical and electronic engineering.

Study at Manchester Met and you’ll start off by getting a solid introduction to key engineering principles, before specialising with subjects like electrical energy systems, control and automation, and electronic systems design. You’ll also learn to use advanced engineering software as you develop your analytical skills and work on more cutting-edge topics.

Lots of your learning on this Electrical and Electronic Engineering course will take place through projects, reflecting the multi-disciplinary world of work. In these projects, set by academic colleagues and industry contacts, you’ll learn what it takes to come up with creative solutions to current engineering problems. You’ll get feedback and advice directly from industry insiders, giving you the chance to find out exactly what it takes to impress a potential future employer. You'll also have the opportunity to spend an extra year expanding your horizons, working on a placement in industry.

This degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

This is an integrated four-year (or five-year with a placement) undergraduate masters course, which provides the specialist knowledge and expertise required for a professional career in electrical and electronic engineering. Project-based learning in all years, including live industry-led projects, will help you develop to the transferable skills and the multi-disciplinary awareness so highly prized by employers.

Year 1 of our Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree covers engineering science, applicable mathematics, and practical and project skills. In Year 2, you will further develop your scientific and analytical skills through study of electrical energy systems, control engineering, electronic systems design and engineering mathematics. You also will take on a specialist role in a group project and start detailed planning of your career. Advanced topics studied in the third and final years will give you experience of the latest engineering challenges faced by industry and society, as well as the opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary team on a major project challenge.

If you’re interested in spending a year in industry, the five-year sandwich route provides the opportunity for you to do just that in your third year, either within the UK or further afield.

What is the length of the course?

• 4 years full-time
