This MEng (Hons) degree programme provides added depth and breadth to the BEng (Hons) programme. The first two years of this programme are identical to the BEng (Hons) in Computer Science and Electronic Engineering (HH66) giving you the flexibility to choose between programmes if you are uncertain which one is your first choice at present. In the third year you will also undertake a major group project in which you collectively assign responsibilities and management roles within the team. Department Key Facts Number of first year students 80 Number of applications per year 711 Department resources The award winning Sir Robin Saxby Laboratories provide state-of-the-art facilities for digital systems, with over 200 up-to-date networked PCs for undergraduate use as well as all the equipment necessary for fundamental and modern electronics. Research performance 55% deemed world-leading or internationally excellent. A further 35% internationally recognised. Scholarships The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) offer Ambition Scholarships worth up tp £3,000 per year. Selection for the Ambition Scholarship depends on A level achievement (from three Bs) and personal financial need. More details can be found at www.theiet.org/awards. The department will offer an additional scholarship for students who hold and IET scholarship. The admission tutor can give advice on how to apply for any of these scholarships. In your third and fourth years you will study a greater range of subjects including Management of Design and Total Quality Management, important areas for the engineering leaders of the future, and you will have the opportunity to study more advanced topics such as Computational Intelligence, Telecommunications, Advanced System Modelling and Control, and Multi-Agent Systems. The final year includes a 20-week individual project. This MEng (Hons) programme is the best preparation for either graduate level employment in either the Computer or the Electronics industry, or a research degree in one of the many strong research groups in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics. It is also a quicker route to Chartered Engineer status. If you are attracted by the prospect of spending a year in industry, you may be interested in the five-year programme (GHKP). On this programme students spend their third year of study on industrial placement.

Typical careers include: Avionic System Design Engineer Commercialisation Manager Design Engineer Graduate Engineer Graduate Systems Engineer Medical Physicist Postdoctoral Research Scientist Radio Frequency Scientist Research Studentship Sales Engineer School Teacher Verification Engineer.
