Program Overview

Our Master of Engineering (MEng) degree lets you specialise your degree with a range of options and provides you with the educational requirements needed to become a Chartered Engineer.

From renewable energies, autonomous cars, robotics and mobile communication to advances in medicine, electrical and electronic engineering underpins all facets of our daily lives. Our research in sensors, flexible electronics, medical robotics and imaging, 5G communications and space systems informs our teaching.

You’ll study in our £12-million Future Technologies Labs, which provide a new space for building robots, programming embedded systems and digital signal processors, as well as computer design and modelling suites. You’ll use our electronics and control engineering laboratories, and electrical drive systems, and could be part of one of the Formula Student or Medical Robotic teams.

As you progress, you’ll focus on electrical or electronic engineering. You’ll get specialist training in applications ranging from sensor design to hardware accelerators, and from semiconductor devices to electric motors for future green transport. We have dedicated academic advisers to support you during you time at Sussex, as well as a team of student mentors.

You’ll gain hands-on experience with industry-standard equipment. In your final year, you’ll work on a project inspired by industrial needs. The optional year in industry is a valuable opportunity to experience work as an engineer within a commercial company. You’ll be able to contribute to design products and services that will shape the society of the future. All this gives you the confidence, skills and experience for the next step in your career.
