Electronics and computer science are a fascinating and highly valuable combination.<br/><br/>Interactions between these fields have generated some of the most significant advances in computer design and communications technology over the last 50 years.<br/><br/>We teach a solid foundation of electronics and computer science. You will learn how to design and apply both the hardware and software of general-purpose and embedded computer systems.<br/><br/><strong>The Master of Engineering (MEng) degree</strong><br/><br/>The MEng degree is relevant to those wishing to pursue a career as a professional engineer or a computer scientist in industry.<br/><br/>This programme combines more advanced study than our Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degree, with a greater emphasis on industrial skills.<br/><br/>You will also get the opportunity to work in an industrial company while you carry out your MEng project in Years 4 and 5.<br/><br/><strong>Ties to industry</strong><br/><br/>Our Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from prominent electronics and electrical engineering companies. This has, and continues to, influence our curriculum and programme development.<br/><br/>Many of our electronics and electrical engineering (EEE) courses benefit from industry collaboration, including a state-of-the-art electronics laboratory equipped with industry-standard measurement and testing equipment. We also regularly host guest lectures from experienced professionals in the EEE sector.<br/><br/><strong>Programme benefits</strong><br/><br/><br/>* Make use of an enviable suite of facilities including specialist laboratories, student makerspaces and cutting-edge industry-standard equipment.<br/><br/><br/>* Undertake a six-month placement in industry or at an overseas research institution, university, or company in your final year.<br/><br/><br/>* Study in Edinburgh, a city regularly voted among the UK’s top student cities (top 2 in the UK, QS 2024) and benefit from research-led teaching by internationally leading academics.<br/><br/><br/>* We have strong links to industry (particularly in microelectronics) with excellent career prospects, industry relevant curriculum, internships and the opportunity of a final year project placement.<br/><br/><br/>* A balanced curriculum that covers theoretical and practical skills and individual and group work.<br/><br/><br/>* Our degree programmes are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology.<br/>
