The Department's research activities are focused in seven main thematic areas: High performance embedded systems Biomedical Defence and security Energy systems Intelligent and autonomous systems MEMS, sensors, and devices Big data
Research is organised across five broad groups. Each group collaborates widely with partners in industry and other research institutions, and each is supported by a range of funding sources.
BROADER VISIONS – ENHANCE YOUR DEGREE WITH BUSINESS MODULES OR OVERSEAS STUDY
You can choose to take the MEng degree with a substantial management and business component (Electrical & Electronic Engineering), or to spend your fourth year at an overseas university (both degree courses). These programmes are as demanding as the standard MEng courses, and include the same project work, but enable you to add wider skills, knowledge and experience to complement your technical education. ENGINEER YOUR DEGREE PROGRAMME - DESIGN YOUR COURSE TO SUIT YOUR Pages :6 SKILLS AND INTERESTS Because we are active in such a broad variety of research, we offer an extensive range of advanced modules which allow you to build your degree around your interests in your third and fourth years. You to take a wide-ranging programme of study, or to concentrate in a particular field. Our specialist modules are always evolving to take advantage of new technologies and developments in research, with the result that fourth year students can choose from well over 40 advanced options such as human-centred robotics, speech processing and sustainable energy.
BECOMING AN ENGINEER - WE'LL HELP TO PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR FUTURE CAREER
In your first two years you’ll study a range of core topics, including business studies and professional engineering, and the third year industrial placement option gives you the opportunity to spend six months in industry and experience engineering in action. Find out more about how our courses prepare you for a career, and the opportunities for our graduates.
Our courses are delivered through a combination of lectures, study groups, personal tutorials, laboratory work and projects. As you learn more through the course, you’ll practice more and more ambitious project work so that by final year you can demonstrate all your applied knowledge and invention. There's a strong emphasis on practical work which fosters innovation and creativity, supported by excellent ICT and laboratory teaching facilities. Explore teaching and learning in our Department.
Electrical and electronic engineers are at the forefront of the challenge to design technologies which make things faster, better, cheaper, and more sustainable. They aim to make our lives healthier, more productive, and more enjoyable. We see educating the next generation of engineers as a key role, and our graduates and postgraduates are highly valued by industry and commerce around the world. Our degrees are aligned to our research strengths, and we are proud of the depth of analytical treatment and the specialised optional subjects we offer.
UNDERGRADUATE | BEng & MEng Developing graduate engineers with the skills, knowledge and imagination that will help shape our world. POSTGRADUATE TAUGHT | MSc Our one-year MSc courses will give you in-depth knowledge and critical awareness of your specialist field. POSTGRADUATE RESEARCH | PhD World class research opportunities in circuits and systems, communications and signal processing, control and power, intelligent systems and networks, and optical and semiconductor devices.
