Electronic and Information Engineering - MEng (Hons)

Imperial College London

Electronic and information engineers are at the forefront of the challenges to connect our world, to design more efficient and affordable technology, and to help us live healthily and sustainably. This unique course combines electronics with computer science and information engineering, with specialist modules from the Department of Computing, and projects and coursework drawn from our latest research, focused on inspiring and supporting tomorrow’s industry-ready, creative engineers. A common first year lets you explore the breadth of the subject. Labs and problem-solving classes will equip you with a solid theoretical base and practical hardware and software skills. Year two follows a core programme, completing the fundamentals in analogue and digital electronics, communications and control, alongside a strong focus on mathematics and computing, networks and high-level programming. You’ll learn to program in C++ and become familiar with software design, programming concepts and tool use – skills that are transferable to any programming language and environment. In third year, you’ll select from a number of focused modules, so you can choose to take a wide-ranging programme of study, or concentrate your expertise in a particular field. You’ll also have the option to take a six-month industrial placement and experience engineering in action, or to be part of a team acting as consultants on a design challenge proposed by an industrial client. The final year offers an extensive range of advanced specialist modules inspired by the very latest research. You’ll apply your knowledge and skills to increasingly ambitious project work throughout the course, ultimately showcasing your imagination, originality and independent engineering expertise in a substantial final year project. For an extra international perspective, students can choose to spend their fourth year at one of our partner universities overseas.
