Electrical and Electronic Engineering is at the core of the modern world, from computers, to digital circuits, photonics and a wealth of electronics. This 5-year MEng degree puts electrical and electronic engineering into the context of Renewable Energy Engineering and is ideally suited to somebody who wishes to focus their electrical and electronic skills on this particular growing industry, where technology continues to change and new, creative solutions continuously being sought. <br/><br/>The University of Aberdeen has a proven track record of preparing graduates for the Energy sector. Consequently, we have recruited specialist staff in our engineering school and attracted highly-regarded industrial experts from the energy industry who contribute to the relevant taught modules. After laying a strong foundation of basic and advanced electrical and electronic engineering concepts in the first four years (similar structure to the straight MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering), the programme offers students to enhance their knowledge specifically in aspects related to renewable energy. The programme prepares the students to take up exciting careers designing long-distance high-voltage transmission lines, biofuel plants, geothermal and tidal wave extractors or large solar farms.<br/><br/>One of the main features of the programme is its focus on all renewable energy sources; solar & geothermal, wind, marine, hydro power and biomass fuel. Many renewable related degree programmes focus solely on one area of the sector but we intentionally provide an overview of them all so you have the best opportunity of gaining a successful career upon graduation.<br/><br/>The first two years cover general Engineering, with elements of Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum and Electrical/Electronics, as well as Civil. In the later years you specialise, following your chosen discipline in greater depth. You do not need to finalise your choice of specialisation until you begin third year.<br/><br/>It is possible to move between MEng and BEng and this can be accomplished at any point until the second half session of fourth year. Successful BEng candidates will be offered the chance to change to the MEng and there is no quota, meaning that if grade requirements are met that transfer is guaranteed.<br/><br/>**Ranked 12th UK, 1st in Scotland for General Engineering (Complete University Guide 2022)<br/>Ranked 12th UK, 2nd in Scotland for General Engineering (Guardian 2022)**

Points of Entry
Year 1
Scottish HigherA,A,B,B Applicants who achieve AABB or better over S4 and S5 are likely to be made an offer of admission. This may be unconditional or conditional, depending upon academic profile. Good performance in additional Highers / Advanced Highers may be required. Note: we do not double count a Higher and Advanced Higher in the same subject, but we do consider that a B at Adv Higher is equivalent to an A grade at Higher. International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme34 34 Points including Mathematics and Physics at HL (6 or above) and English at Standard Level. Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)DDD DDD with Mathematics and Physics required. GCSE at C or above in English or English Language, Mathematics and in either Chemistry or Physics or Dual Award Science. Note: BTEC in Applied Sciences is not normally sufficient on its own for entry into any of our Engineering programmes. Leaving Certificate - Higher Level (Ireland) (first awarded in 2017)H2,H2,H2,H2,H3 5 subjects at Higher, with 4 at H2 and 1 at H3 H2 or above in mathematics and H3 or above in Physics required. A levelA,B,B AB required in Mathematics and Physics or a B in Design and Technology or a B in Engineering. If applicant presents with B in Physics, Design and Technology or Engineering, Mathematics must be A grade. GCSE English at C. |
