About this course
Radical changes in how we produce and use electricity, such as the growth of wind and solar energy and the electrification of transport, pose new challenges for electrical engineers. With this master's in electrical engineering, you can contribute to the development of a smarter, greener and more secure electric power grid. This accredited degree will give you access to professional registration as a Chartered Engineer.
Electrical engineering is about electricity on a large scale – how it is generated, controlled and distributed for use in industry and homes.
The master's degree in electrical engineering follows the same curriculum as the 3-year BEng, with an additional year that allows you to broaden your knowledge and cover topics at a more advanced level.
You’ll be able to study specialist areas, such as high-voltage insulation systems, medical electrical technologies and the societal aspects of power generation.
The course balances theory and practical work and most modules include lab-based or design projects. You’ll also have the opportunity to use our high-voltage laboratory, which is a centre for cutting-edge electrical power research and one of the few labs of its kind in the UK.
We are a partner of the Institution of Engineering and Technology Power Academy, which gives you the chance to apply for a company-led scholarship that provides financial support, paid summer work placements and industry mentors.
This MEng Electrical Engineering degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
Year in industry

Course structure
Year 1 and 2 modules are similar across our electronic and electrical engineering degrees and provide a grounding in essential topics.
In years 3 and 4 you’ll have the freedom to customise your course by choosing optional modules. There’s also the opportunity to broaden your studies beyond electrical engineering.
Most modules include lab-based or design projects. In each year, you'll be involved in design and build projects, developing confidence and the skills to deliver working prototypes.
Year 1 overview
You’ll study core electrical engineering topics, such as electronic circuits, mechanics and electrical materials and fields.
You’ll also learn about related aspects of electronics and gain the programming and mathematical skills that will underpin your studies.
Year 2 overview
You’ll deepen your understanding of electrical engineering by studying topics such as, power electronics and drives, applied electromagnetics and power circuits and transmission.
You’ll also develop your engineering design, project management and communication skills, by carrying out a group design project to design and build a range of circuits.
Year 3 overview
You’ll enhance your professional skills through team project work and by taking an industry-specific module on essentials such as law, budgeting and project management.
Optional modules allow you to follow your interests – you could study power systems engineering in more depth or explore other topics such as robotics or bionanotechnology.
Year 4 overview
The group-design project is a great opportunity to put your skills into practice and experience working for an industry or academic customer. Past projects have involved:
- producing a design for an electrical system for an offshore platform, for a global technology services company
- designing an external battery to power an integrated secondary flight display, for a specialist avionics company
