Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Industrial Project

Electrical and electronic engineering is the discipline that underlies the modern world. From the power systems that deliver electricity to our homes and businesses, to the microelectronics in our devices, the sensors in our cars, the communications infrastructure of the internet, and the control systems in aircraft and industrial plant, almost every technology that defines contemporary life depends on the work of electrical and electronic engineers. The discipline combines fundamental science, applied mathematics, and practical design, demanding both theoretical rigour and the ability to create real systems that work.

At the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, this four-year, full-time integrated master's degree covers a wide range of cutting-edge topics in electrical and electronic engineering, developing your core knowledge and practical skills in a professionally accredited programme. You will study power systems, electronics, communications, signal processing, control theory, and electromagnetic fields, alongside the design and project skills that are central to professional engineering practice. A distinctive feature of this programme is the industrial project, which allows you to undertake a substantial applied project in a real industrial or research context, integrating academic learning with professional experience and developing the capabilities that employers in this fast-paced industry value most.

Graduates of electrical and electronic engineering programmes from Newcastle are well-qualified for a broad range of careers. Roles in power and energy, semiconductor design, communications, defence electronics, automation, control systems, medical devices, and the technology sector are all accessible. Many graduates pursue professional registration with the Institution of Engineering and Technology, working towards chartered engineer status.

The integrated master's qualification also provides an excellent foundation for postgraduate research in areas such as power electronics, photonics, wireless communications, or embedded systems.
