Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Entry requirements

A minimum 2:1 undergraduate UK Honours degree or equivalent international qualification, in electronic, electrical or telecommunications engineering, or in an engineering science programme (with electronic, electrical, telecommunications or systems pathway).

Please note that applicants will need post A2 Level (or equivalent) knowledge in Mathematics, covering topics such as linear algebra, calculus and analysis, and including differential equations. This could be gained through a mathematics module taken as part of an undergraduate course. It is expected that candidates have a good understanding of these topics at the start of their MSc studies.

You can see how your current degree score or GPA equates to the British system in our Study pages in the Equivalent scores table.

We are willing to consider applications from students with lower qualifications on a case-by-case basis, particularly when the applicant can evidence relevant employment, practical experience or strong performance in undergraduate modules related to their proposed postgraduate course of study.

To ensure you have the essential foundations for the course, and depending on your overall academic profile, we may require you to take a mathematical skills test.

Course content

Electrical and electronic engineering is the study and application of electronics, telecommunications and electrical power. Our MSc course offers students the chance to deepen both their theoretical understanding and practical expertise across key areas used in industries such as renewable energy, automotive, telecommunications and construction.

Core modules provide advanced knowledge in power electronics and devices, while a strong emphasis on project work ensures hands-on experience. A dedicated module in research methods and professional skills equips students with a broad research skills set. Throughout the course, students develop and apply their skills through individual and group projects, report writing and technical presentations, strengthening the project management and numerical skills sought by employers.

A wide selection of optional modules allows student to tailor their learning to match their personal interests and career goals.

Graduates of this course are well-prepared for roles across the electronics, telecommunications, automotive and electrical sectors. The course is also the perfect platform for progression to a PhD.
