Learn to understand electrical and electronic devices that make the human world go round: from machines and power systems like wind turbines, devices such as lasers, microprocessors and computers, to communication systems like 5G mobile networks.

With a masters course, you’ll not only explore the theoretical and practical engineering of these devices – you’ll become an expert.

Practical experience is key to our teaching. As a first year you’ll take part in the faculty's Global Engineering Challenge to solve a real-world problem. In your second year, you’ll work on a week-long project devised by an industry partner called Engineering You’re Hired – and you’ll get the chance to work with an engineering company through the semester-long Sheffield Industrial Project Scheme.

At the end of your second year you can specialise or continue to focus on general electrical and electronic engineering.

Final year modules focus on the application of scientific knowledge to industry. You’ll work in a multidisciplinary team on research, led by an academic but with industry input. This group project will enhance your employability by developing practical transferable skills like team working, decision making, problem solving and communication.
