Electrical Engineering with a Year in Industry (Year 4) MEng

University Park Campus, Nottingham, UK

Course overview

Electrical engineers design and develop new technologies to generate and process power. The equipment they design is used to distribute electrical energy (including 'Smart Grid' technologies for renewable energy sources), and also supports many manufacturing industries.

Electrical engineering technologies now enable hybrid and electric vehicles, trains, ships and even aircraft.

Our course will give you the specialist electrical knowledge and skills that will help you be part of a more sustainable future. Through lab-based projects, working individually and in small teams, you'll learn essential problem solving and design skills.
