Masters in Electronics Engineering in UK

Our Electronic Engineering MEng course focuses on four key areas in electronics: circuits and systems, signal processing, computing and communication. You will develop in-depth knowledge of and practical expertise in circuit analysis and design, communication systems, computation and programming for engineers, and hardware design, which will provide a foundation for senior roles in electronics, signal processing, and communication industries.

From the tiny processors in smartphones to the heavy-duty power electronics in wind turbines, electronic and electrical systems underpin many modern technologies.

Electronics is the study of circuits and devices that carry relatively small currents and voltages. It concerns the sensing, transduction and processing of data signals, in either digital or analogue forms.

Electrical engineering concerns much larger currents and voltages - usually for the purpose of generating and transmitting electrical power.

In an Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) degree, you will study both areas with the opportunity to specialise in later years.
