Programme structure

Programme Year One

The first two years of the MEng are the same as the BEng programme, and therefore shares Years One and Two in common with a number of other programmes.

Digital and Integrated Electronics Design
Electrical Circuits and System
Mathematics
Experimental Skills/Engineering Skills
Electronic Circuits
C Programming

Programme Year Two

Signals and Systems
Electronic Circuits and Systems
Instrumentation and Control
Digital Electronics and Microprocessor Systems
Communication Systems
Applied Design/Project
Electrical Circuits and Power Systems
Field Theory
Electromagnetics
CMOS Integrated Circuits

Programme Year Three

You undertake an extended individual project; previous projects have included the design of an inexpensive heart monitor for use on horses in an outdoor situation. In addition, you study compulsory modules and a range of options. The compulsory modules are:

Project Management
Electronics for Instrumentation and Communication

The optional modules are chosen from:

Signal Processing and Digital Filtering
Digital System Design
Electronics for Instrumentation and Communications
Integrated Circuits – Concepts and Design
Application Development with C++
Photonics and Optical Information Systems
Image Processing and Pattern Recognition
Neural Networks
Embedded Computer Systems
Total Quality Management
Organic Electronics
Digital Control and Optimisation
Power Generation, transmission and distribution
Power Electronics and Electromechanics
RF Engineering and Applied Electromagnetics
Antennas
Electromagnetic Compatibility

Programme Year Four

During this year, students continue compulsory modules, choose further options and undertake an extended group project. A previous individual project was the production of automation software for ‘system on chip’ design for a major UK Silicon chip design company. Each project has an advanced technical element, linked to a research group programme that is also supported by industry. The compulsory modules are:

Management of Design

The optional modules are chosen from:

Radio Propagation for Wireless Systems
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Advanced System Modelling and Control
Digital and Wireless Communications
Photonics and Optical Information Systems
Computational Intelligence
Advanced Guidance Systems
Advanced Signal Processin
Microprocessor Systems
Software Engineering & Programming
Power system Measurement, Monitoring & Sensors
or from the Year Three options list if not previously taken.

Career opportunities

Our degrees have excellent career prospects: 90% of graduates go on to graduate level jobs. Graduate employers include Siemens, BAE Systems, BT and Guardian Media Group. Careers are many and varied and include Design Engineer, Systems Engineer, Medical Physicist, Postdoctoral Research Scientist and Radio Frequency Scientist. Some of our graduates go on to work in the industrial sector, in government and in education, whilst others enter non-technical professions such as banking, accountancy, management and law.
