Electrical and electronics engineers perform a critical role in today’s modern world, advancing the technology in our homes and businesses – from heat, light and power to telecommunications and transport.
The MSc Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme offered by the Coventry University provides a balanced curriculum where you will learn a variety of programming languages and skills that will aid you after graduation. You also have the option of studying either ‘Digital Communications’ or ‘Measurement and sensor Technology’ as the optional module available to you.
This course partially meets the academic requirements for registration as a Charted Engineer with the Engineering Council. You will have the opportunity to develop practical skills and theoretical knowledge in a range of electronics fields, including digital systems, image and signal processing, robotics and sensors, together with electrical systems such as renewable energy, smart grids, embedded microcontrollers, electrical machines and power generation.
You’ll have access to state-of-the-art facilities, placement opportunities at companies which have previously included the National Grid, GlaxoSmithKline, Severn Trent Water and Mercedes Benz, as well as an annual programme of inspiring lectures on contemporary engineering and computing topics presented by the IET and British Computer Society (BCS).
Not only is the technical content regularly reviewed to reflect what is currently important and in-demand in the electrical and electronic engineering industry, but we also ensure that the capabilities and skills that the sector regularly asks for are well addressed.
Engineering remains one of the most in-demand jobs in the UK, with opportunities throughout the world for highly trained professionals. Highly trained engineers are needed to specify and design such systems and devise electronic engineering solutions for future challenges – such as electric transportation, renewable energy generation, robot systems and medical diagnostics.
The specialist topics studied on the programme aim to prepare you for a wider range of roles in related industries that rely on the technology. Possible destinations include: electrical power supply generation and distribution including renewables; transport and industrial equipment manufacturers employing electrical drives; electrical vehicles are anticipated to create an increased demand in this area; industrial measurement and monitoring systems; robotics and associated activities; and microelectronic applications.
