Advance your career in a rapidly growing industry with a Master’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Designed to equip you with cutting-edge knowledge and hands-on experience, this course prepares you to tackle complex global challenges in electrical and electronic systems. You’ll explore specialist areas such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart grids, renewable energy systems, RF and microwave engineering, and sensors and actuators. You’ll apply your learning to real-world scenarios through practical workshops, studio sessions, and research-informed projects, many of which are directly connected to active research within our Centre for Engineering Research in Intelligent Sensors and Systems (CeRISS) and the EUREKA Robotics Centre. What sets this degree apart is its strong industry integration. Our modules are co-designed and reviewed by industry partners, giving you access to real-world projects, guest lectures, and cutting-edge facilities including robotics labs, IoT test beds, and embedded development kits. You’ll also have opportunities to collaborate on pioneering research and to publish your work in academic conferences or through digital media, enhancing your professional profile. Following graduation, you’ll go on to excel in industries such as renewable energy, automation, telecommunications, smart manufacturing, and robotics, as well as in research and development roles globally. If you’re ready to become a future-ready engineer with advanced technical, analytical, and leadership skills, this Master’s in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is your pathway to success. The programme has been designed with reference to the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). In line with other Cardiff School of Technologies programmes it will seek accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council following completion of the first successful cohort.
