ELECTRONIC AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING MENG

Programme overview

Why choose this programme?

This degree is designed for students seeking to master electronic and electrical engineering while gaining advanced specialist knowledge.

Year 1 and Year 2 cover core fundamentals, with the flexibility to switch to the BEng or pursue Electronic and Electrical Engineering MEng pathways with a specialism in Communications, Nanotechnology, or a Year Abroad at a global partner university.

Project work is central to the programme, from early Engineering Challenges and week-long design scenarios, to a final-year team project tackling real-world engineering problems.

As part of UCL’s Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP), this degree combines specialist education with interdisciplinary teamwork. You will collaborate with other UCL Engineering students in interdisciplinary teams to tackle complex engineering problems. You'll broaden your expertise through an IEP Minor â€" three related modules across Years 2 and 3 â€" in areas like Data Science, Entrepreneurship, Robotics, or Environmental Engineering.

You will graduate with the creativity, practical experience, and leadership skills needed to excel in industries shaping the technologies of the future.

Accreditation

Our MEng programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). Please note, in order to meet the Engineering Council requirements for an accredited degree (which apply to all programmes professionally accredited by the Engineering Council, across all universities), students on this programme must pass all modules, with some possible specific exceptions for a limited number of optional modules. If a student fails a module (two attempts are permitted) they may be eligible to transfer to a related non-accredited degree.
