Electronic and Electrical Engineering with Placement Year : MEng Hons

Course overview

Virtually every modern technology is underpinned by electronic or electrical engineering, and it is difficult to think of an application where it doesn’t have influence. From small intricate electronic systems and smart things to large scale power plants, engineers are behind the design, development and testing of these technologies. Electronic and electrical engineers collaborate with other engineering specialists, so it’s crucial to have a broad understanding of general engineering and its applications.

At Lancaster, your first year is dedicated to exactly this, and you’ll share this experience with all our School of Engineering students, regardless of their specialisation. We think this makes you a well-rounded graduate, with excellent teamwork and communications skills, prepared for a career pioneering the materials, technologies and processes of the future.
