Course summary
The first year of this advanced MSc programme aims to provide you with a Master's level knowledge in Electrical and Electronic Engineering through a wide range of optional modules in order to suit your background, interest and career aspirations. In the second year, you will apply the knowledge and skills acquired to solve contemporary real world problems in an extended year long research project. This aims to further enhance your knowledge and skills base in order to boost your prospect of employment as a professional engineer in this field. The year long extended individual project will form the basis of your written dissertation and further develops your ability to engage in independent learning, prepare you for postgraduate research or careers in industry. The course will develop your ability to: think logically and critically acquire problem-solving skills become competent users of equipment and software communicate results effectively This degree is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to comply with full CEng registration requirements.

Assessment method
The assessment strategy differs between the taught (120 credits) and individual project (120 credits) modules. A typical module contains both written assignment(s) and an end of semester exam which is mostly weighted as 40%. The individual project module is continuously assessed in year 2 and concludes with the submission of a research paper, as well as an oral assessment based upon the practical demonstration of the proposed engineering design/solution. The pass mark for all the modules is 50%. Your final degree classification will be based upon your aggregated achievement from both the taught and the project stages of 240 credits.
