Our Electrical and Electronic Engineering MSc provides an opportunity for students to develop knowledge and skills in electrical and electronic engineering topics useful to industry.

Emphasis is given to project work, with a research methods and professional skills module designed to support the project work. Students will apply their knowledge and skills to both individual and group projects, as well as writing reports and presenting technical work, thus developing the project management and numerical skills sought by employers.

Apply scientific knowledge, mathematics and ingenuity to find solutions for technical, societal and commercial problems. On this comprehensive and varied course, you will acquire the essential competencies and engineering awareness for a successful career in electronics based industries.

If you don't have mathematics and/or science at the appropriate level to apply for our Engineering degrees, this course is for you. If you have proven ability in other subjects, it gives you the opportunity to develop the knowledge you need to apply to an engineering degree here.

This course is also appropriate if you have technical or vocational qualifications or are from a different educational system. 

You will study topics such as:

• foundation mathematics
• applied mechanics
• material science

On successful completion of your foundation year you are guaranteed entry to an engineering degree programme at Newcastle.

Learn about the design, fabrication and use of a wide range of electronics, circuits, devices and power systems.

Your study will take in:

• electrical machines and power systems such as wind turbines and the national grid
• electronic devices, circuits and systems such as lasers, microprocessors and computers
• communication devices and systems such as radio frequency (RF) ​​antennae and 5G mobile networks.

You'll explore theoretical and practical aspects across the range of electronic and electrical engineering, and use computer design tools extensively.

We offer a wide choice of optional modules – these cover many aspects of electrical and electronic engineering and communications.

With the Electrical and Computer Engineering master's program, you have options. Areas of study include control systems, digital systems, computer engineering, communications, computer-aided design, device and circuit modeling, solid-state devices, sensors, power systems, power electronics, electromagnetic fields, electromechanical systems and system analysis and design. All of these areas are designed with your career goals in mind.

Aerospace, military, government agencies, utility companies, communication industries, medicine, manufacturing and law are all companies seeking electrical and computer engineers. You will learn how to implement new ideas and solve technical problems in engineering that will ready you for your career
