Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Electrical and electronic engineering is the discipline that designs, builds, and improves the systems that power modern life. From power generation and distribution to communications networks, medical devices, consumer electronics, and the control systems embedded in everything from aircraft to smartphones, electrical and electronic engineers create the technological infrastructure on which contemporary society depends. The field spans both the generation and control of electrical power and the design of the electronic circuits and systems that process information and signals.

At Queen Mary University of London, this three-year full-time programme gives you a thorough grounding in the principles and practice of the discipline. You will study circuit theory, electromagnetics, signals and systems, digital electronics, control systems, and power engineering, building from fundamental physics and mathematics towards the design and analysis of complex engineering systems. The programme develops both your theoretical understanding and your practical skills in the laboratory and in design work, and you will engage with contemporary applications across communications, energy, computing, and embedded systems.

Queen Mary's location in London places you close to a wide range of industries and research organisations that offer opportunities for professional engagement and career development.

Graduates of electrical and electronic engineering programmes are in strong demand across a broad range of sectors, including telecommunications, energy, defence, automotive, aerospace, healthcare technology, and consumer electronics. Roles in hardware design, systems engineering, project management, research and development, and consultancy are all accessible to graduates with a strong engineering foundation. Many pursue postgraduate study or professional registration, building towards chartered engineer status, and the quantitative and analytical skills the degree develops also open pathways into finance, data science, and technology management.
