ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½

Switch on your career in electrical and electronic engineering at ÌÇÐÄVlog¹Ù·½, a university with a prestigious engineering history - and a bright focus on the future. We are home to one of the largest departments of electrical and electronic engineering in the UK, have fantastic links with industry, and have taught the discipline of electrical and electronic engineering since 1905. More than 100 years later, we continue to help address the biggest engineering challenges.

The use of electrical energy is fundamental to modern life. Without a secure energy supply, society in its current form would collapse. Consequently, the importance of efficient and sustainable generation and secure distribution of electrical energy cannot be overstated. This will be a lifetime challenge facing generations to come – and electrical and electronic engineers have a vital role to play.

Furthermore, both today and in years to come we look to electronics to provide answers for complex problems. Take the mobile phone as an example: a very sophisticated computer and communications system that links to a worldwide network of antennas allowing it to connect to any other mobile phone, as well as the internet. Another example is the digital camera, at the heart of which is a sophisticated electronic device containing millions of individual light level sensors.

Additionally, we live in an information age. Complex systems require digital signal processing (for images, audio and other signals), and technological developments in communications include concurrent processing (to allow the manipulation of the massive amounts of data), data networking and digital communication systems for both local distribution and across the internet. Explore these themes and acquire the skills to take them forward at Manchester.

• You will explore the importance of providing sustainable generation and secure distribution of electrical energy.
• You will learn to design, build, and operate analogue and digital circuits to create smart devices and new generation of electronic systems.
• You will be provided with ample opportunity for practical application and project work. These are strong themes throughout our course.
• You will be taught by academics working on the cutting-edge of research, helping to solve the world's biggest challenges.

Excellent Facilities

In our Home of Engineering and Materials, we're ripping up the rule book to offer an innovative teaching and learning experience. You'll have access to world-leading sustainable research facilities, industry-leading equipment and instrumentation in the sector to meet today’s requirements and those of the future. ·¡³æ±è±ô´Ç°ù±ð  .

With access to an  , you'll get hands-on experience with industry-standard equipment - improving your knowledge and skills, and preparing you for work post-graduation. Our flagship facilities include the   a²Ô»å  .

Regular, close support

During 1st Year, you'll be supported by unit-specific tutors, who hold weekly small-group sessions to discuss technical questions related to your course. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to engage with our award-winning Peer Assisted Study Session scheme which allows you to interact with 2nd and 3rdYear students. You'll alsobe assignedan Academic Advisor, who will offer you support in terms of your academic progression and career development.

Options and flexibility

The first three semesters of our undergraduate courses share the same content. This gives you the opportunity to transfer between Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Mechatronic Engineering, up until halfway through your 2nd Year.

In your first year of study there is approximately a 50:50 split between your contact time and independent study, which is about the same as when studying for A-levels.

In subsequent years this split changes to a greater amount of independent learning, with the split being approximately 30:70 in the 3rd Year. This does not mean that less help is available; our staff are here to help.

Contact time could be in a lecture, example class, tutorial, laboratory class and sometimes may be online (email/e-learning/web blog etc). All of these activities enable you to interact with us to ensure you have the best possible learning experience.

The course contains strong practical elements: in the 1st Year you will be introduced to both hardware design and implementation as well as software development, in the 2nd Year you will engage in a year-long practical build project of an autonomous embedded system, in the 3rd Year you will be involved with a year-long practical research project.

Assessment of most course units is by examination combined with an element of coursework, such as marked laboratory work or marked examples. Substantial projects are assessed by written reports, presentations and demonstrations.

Come to our Home of Engineering and Materials - a place like no other. This is where engineers, material scientists, and fashion students collaborate, innovate and make their mark on the world. Unleash your potential in our creative, academic playground that reflects the evolution of a proud history of innovation spanning almost 200 years.

In this very special place, we’re ripping up the rule book, offering you a truly innovative teaching and learning experience. As well as our creative classrooms, you’ll also have access to world-leading sustainable research facilities in our new buildings.

Our variety of spaces allows for greater collaboration for all our students, and it is the place to connect and tackle real-life challenges together. So, a chemical engineer could be sat alongside a materials scientist working on clean water or bump into a fashion student developing their own sustainable brand, or an aerospace engineer sending a rocket into space. It is a place like no other for interactions and one of the biggest communities of engineers and materials scientists in any University in the world.
