Course content

Electrical and electronic engineers are driving innovations that address some of the world’s most critical challenges, from advancing renewable energy solutions to shaping the future of smart cities and automation. This MSc in Electronic and Electrical Engineering advances your technical expertise and practical experience to excel in these fields and helps you achieve engineering chartership.

• Working on industry-linked projects, collaborating with other engineers and presenting your findings
• A focus on practical work in our state-of-the-art labs. You could be designing and building RF filters; using the chip arm to balance a ball on a vibrating beam; or using LabVIEW to monitor and stabilise temperatures
• Honing your experience of using professional software like Microwave Office; programming the ARM CortexM0+ microprocessor, taking microwave measurements using network analysers; or interfacing using LabVIEW
• Understanding industry relevant design choices, like cost, manufacturability, legal, environmental and end use aspects.

• Access to fantastic kit: We have mm-wave and THz fabrication and measurement labs, a range of robots, nuclear test shielded areas with high power RF sources, scanning electron microscope and a wave power test lab with wave tank
• Industry links and project management skills: Get hands-on experience working on real-world industry challenges. Our group projects go beyond technical design, helping you develop the teamwork and communication skills that today’s employers demand from engineering professionals.
• Interdisciplinary learning: Engineering is evolving, and so is our approach. At Lancaster, our modules are designed to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of modern engineering. You'll collaborate with students from different specialisms, like electrical and mechanical engineering, giving you a well-rounded, versatile education.
