Master of Engineering (Electronic Engineering)

Overview

An exciting range of modules in topical electronic sciences combined with a state-of-the-art engineering facility awaits students.  In addition the Master's Programme offers the student a chance to hone their research skills by specialising in one of a variety of exciting areas in a full-time three month research dissertation.

Completion Method:

90 Credit ME Programme comprising:30 Credit Project /60 Credit Taught Modules (7.5 Credits each). Project completed over one summer(May to August) by Full-Time Students or two summers by Part-Time Students.8 Taught Modules completed over two semesters (Full-Time), or four semesters (Part-Time). Approximately 3 hours of Lectures per week per module. Attendance at lectures or laboratory sessions on campus is required for some modules  A short video demonstration of the learning experience available through Moodle can be found by clicking on this link.

Module Composition:

8 Taught Modules (60 credits) - 1 Project (30 Credits)

The project module is undertaken by those students seeking the ME award and is developed as part of the research skills modules taken in the second semester. The potential projects are distributed in the latter half of the first term and are finally assigned at the start of the second term. The project work takes place chiefly over the summer. Part-time students use the summer periods over two years for this component of the program
There is some flexibility in choosing the makeup of the ME/PgDip programs and students should choose modules that best reflect their interest and future skills needs.
