The MEng in Electronic and Computer Engineering is a four-year course where you study advanced engineering technologies and also develop additional knowledge in aspects of management and commercial practice within industry. Years one and two Years one and two follow an identical structure to the BEng Electronic and Computer Engineering course. Progression to the MEng is dependent on obtaining at least 55 per cent in year two. Year three MEng students can choose from a range of specialist topics to follow a wide path, or focus on specific technologies. You will also undertake a group project which examines the socio-economic and technical aspects of a major industrial endeavour. The Industrial Awareness module, through seminars led by senior industrial personnel, introduces you to commercial aspects of engineering such as management and planning, intellectual property, etc. Year four In year four you will be able to study state-of-the-art technologies taught by world-leading researchers and industrial engineers. You will undertake an individual research project – probably the most exciting part of the degree – which counts for a third of your final year mark. In many cases this project contributes to the major industrially-related programmes undertaken by the Department's research groups. This is where you truly learn to be an engineer!

Graduates in Electronic and Computer Engineering can find careers in many branches of home and industrial electronics and computing – the choice is almost limitless. Graduates with a MEng degree have studied technical subjects to a more advanced level than BEng, and also benefited from workshops concerning various aspects of company practice led by managers/engineers from industry.
