The aims of the MRes programme are to provide students with the necessary advanced, technical, professional and specialised study skills within the fields of electrical engineering, and to develop a critical awareness of the advanced techniques and technological advances available to conduct state of the art research in the areas of electrical Engineering. The programmes are targeted to those who wish to progress to a doctoral level of study in order to pursue subsequently an academic or industrial career. Candidates undertaking the MRes programme will acquire the required skills in preparation for:

1. A career at an advanced level which involves academic research, including study at Doctoral level;
2. An active contribution to the development of new ideas and techniques in electrical engineering;
3. Personal accountability in a supervisory capacity in the management of projects;
4. Life-long learning and an appreciation of the value of education in continuing professional development, thus to provide the depth of knowledge, skills and attitudes to meet the rapidly changing needs of a high technology industrial environment.

The MRes degree is presently offered by a number of UK universities and is well promoted by the research councils such as the EPRSC. The main aim of the programme is to impart advanced knowledge in specialist areas of engineering as well as generic transferable skills in research and project management in order to allow candidates to engage in innovative research and development. These programmes are aimed at meeting the demands of employers for advanced skills in these areas. 

Depending on the availability of teaching resources and demands in future, this MRes programme may introduce optional modules to reflect the progresses and state of the art advances in electrical areas such as advanced machine design, industrial machines, future electric propulsion, renewable energy and more. The structure of the programme consists of the compulsory generic training modules equivalent to 20 credits and a Dissertation for which credits values 160.

NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements.
