Course summary

The MEng Electrical & Electronic Engineering integrated Masters programme comprises fit-for-purpose teaching and a research experience which provides a solid background for a career in the electrical & electronic engineering sector. The study of the MEng Electrical & Electronic Engineering is designed as an integrated program from entry to completion, lasting 4 years, with the earlier parts being delivered in common with the parallel BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering program. The MEng degree meets the expectations of the qualifications descriptor for master's degrees. The period of study at the lower level meets the expectations of the BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering. From transport and renewable energy to aerospace and robotics, this degree equips you with the sought-after skills to work at the forefront of new and emerging technologies. The course, accredited by the Engineering Council, explores how electrical engineers shape the future of these sectors through innovation and design. You will: Have access to electronic design and testing labs, power electronics labs, programmable logic controllers (PLC) labs and computer-aided design (CAD) labs. Gain practical experience on industry-standard software packages, developing skills that are sought-after by industry. Be equipped with analytical, computational, design and transferable skills, including an awareness of social, environmental and ethical implications. Benefit from strong links to local and national industry, with opportunities for site visits. Focus on specialisms within Power, Electronics, Instrumentation and Control. Be able to tailor your module choices to specialise in either Electrical or Electronic Engineering, depending on your goals and interests. Study a course where 85.7% of graduates are in paid work or study 15 months after graduating* * Wrexham University analysis of unpublished data. Key course features: Focus on practical as well as academic study, with access to the facilities in our electronic design and testing labs, power electronics labs, programmable logic controllers (PLC) labs and computer-aided design (CAD) labs. Gain practical experience on industry-standard software packages, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, MATLAB and Simulink, Multisim and Siemens Step 7 software. Strong industry links provide opportunities to visit local and regional companies to gain invaluable work experience in the engineering industry. Focus on specialisms within Power, Electronics, Instrumentation and Control. Dedicated maths support centre for students. This degree programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), helping to improve graduate employability. 85.7% of graduates of this course are in paid work or study* *graduates surveyed 15 months graduating, Wrexham University analysis of unpublished data.

Assessment method

A broad range of assessment methods are used; these include phase tests, written assignments, practical work on computers, a portfolio of work, logbooks, presentations and laboratory work case studies and CAD. A combination of this work may form part of your assessment, alongside time-constrained exams. Each module is assessed by a variety of methods, enabling students to display their full potential. TEACHING AND LEARNING Teaching methods include lectures, laboratory sessions, student-led seminars and guided research. Independent learning is an important aspect of all modules, as it enables students to develop both their subject-specific and key skills. Independent learning is promoted through guided study and feedback given to students. Wrexham University is committed to supporting our students to maximise their academic potential. We offer workshops and support sessions in areas such as academic writing, effective note-making and preparing for assignments. Students can book appointments with academic skills tutors dedicated to helping deal with the practicalities of university work. Our student support section has more information on the help available. In terms of particular needs, the University’s Inclusion Services can provide appropriate guidance and support should any students require reasonable adjustments to be made because of a recognised prevailing disability, medical condition, or specific learning difference.
