MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering
About this course
Electrical and electronic engineering underpins the modern world in its most fundamental dimensions, from the power systems that deliver electricity to homes and businesses to the embedded electronics in vehicles, medical devices, industrial machinery and consumer products. Electrical engineering addresses the generation, transmission and distribution of electrical power, while electronic engineering deals with the design and application of circuits, sensors, communications systems and the intelligent electronics that sit inside virtually every complex device. As the world transitions to renewable energy, autonomous systems and ubiquitous connectivity, the skills of electrical and electronic engineers are in sustained and growing demand. At Coventry University this programme is designed specifically for aspiring engineers seeking industry-relevant skills in power systems, embedded design and artificial intelligence. The course includes a sandwich year, a year abroad and work-placement experience, giving you a significant combination of professional and international experience alongside your academic studies. These placements with industry partners give you hands-on experience in real engineering environments, developing the practical competence and professional awareness that employers expect alongside academic knowledge. The programme also offers a pathway to MEng-level qualification for those seeking the highest engineering credential. The full course runs over four years full time. You will develop expertise in circuit design, power systems, control engineering, embedded systems, digital electronics, signal processing and AI applications in engineering. The curriculum is shaped by the needs of global engineering employers. Graduates from electrical and electronic engineering programmes move into careers in power engineering, telecommunications, automotive and aerospace electronics, control systems, renewable energy, embedded systems and the technology industry. Postgraduate study at MEng or MSc level is also a well-established route for those seeking specialist qualifications or research careers.
