Our four-year MEng Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology degree focuses on the design and implementation of secure electronic systems and builds on our BEng Electronic Engineering degree. This programme will allow you to explore the underpinning physics of state-of-the-art nanoscale electronics, as well as their design and fabrication. Key areas of study include integrated circuit design, digital system synthesis, very-large-scale integration design, silicon technology and devices and nanotechnology. In your third and fourth years you will have the opportunity to select from an extensive range of specialist technical modules and you will participate in a group project that will aim to solve a real industry problem. This project will test and further develop your technical skills but also will develop your management skills as you will work in a team that needs to deliver a solution to a real engineering problem. You’ll study in facilities with an unrivalled reputation. We have recently invested £8m in our teaching labs. We also have a £100m state-of-the-art interdisciplinary clean room complex and high-voltage laboratory. You’ll be prepared to work in a wide variety of areas and fields; we have strong relationships with employers, and our graduates are particularly in demand for their understanding of organisations and their practical abilities in the workplace. We have our own Careers Hub website, run an annual careers fair and have a dedicated startup incubator, Future Worlds, to support student enterprise. Our MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering degrees are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and we are members of the UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UK-ESF) and IET Power Academy.
