Program Overview

Semester abroad

You will have the opportunity to spend a semester studying abroad at one of our English-speaking partner institutions.

External scholarships available

Students are eligible to apply for external scholarships from the UK Power Academy and UK Electronic Skills Foundation UKESF (Cardiff University is a member of both schemes).

Industry-standard facilities

You will have access to designated teaching spaces set up for design and project work, specialist laboratories and computer suites.

Professionally accredited course

Accredited by Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

Studying electrical and electronic engineering puts you at the centre of a vibrant and fast-moving discipline of relevance to industries such as electronics, information technology, manufacturing, energy generation and supply, transport, and communications.

Choosing one of our MEng degrees offers you a quicker, more direct route to Chartered Engineer status than the three-year BEng.

The MEng allows you to use the last two years to expand and strengthen your knowledge in electrical and electronic engineering. You will benefit from advanced learning in design and management and an appreciation of the techniques needed to manage and organise a multidisciplinary engineering design project.

The added advantage of this MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering (International) course is that one semester is spent studying engineering through the medium of English at one of our partner universities overseas. In the past, our students have visited universities in Australia, the United States, and New Zealand.

The course is reviewed annually with input from our industrial partners to ensure that the modules taught are at the cutting edge and reflect the current state of the industry.

Other electrical and electronic engineering courses include:

A thorough grounding in the fundamentals of electrical and electronic engineering if you choose a BEng course.
The opportunity to follow a sandwich year in industry if you choose the relevant four-year BEng or five-year MEng degree option.

Course Content
Course structure

We are currently working with our students to update and improve the content of this course. The information shown below reflects the current curriculum and is likely to change. The review of the course is expected to be completed by August 2022 and this page will be updated by end of October 2022 to reflect the changes.

This is a four-year full-time degree with one semester of year three spent studying abroad. The course includes a carefully chosen balance of core modules and optional modules. Most modules are worth 10 credits, some are worth 20, and a few, including the year three and year four projects and the international module, are each worth up to 50 credits. You need to earn 120 credits a year.

The modules shown are an example of the typical curriculum and will be reviewed prior to the 2022/2023 academic year. The final modules will be published by September 2022.

Year one
- Year one consists of a series of lectures underpinned by practical laboratory sessions.
Year two
- Year two again consists of a series of lectures underpinned by practical laboratory sessions.
Year three
- The Autumn semester of year three is spent studying at a partner institution overseas for the equivalent of 50 credits.
- Year three also includes a major project, totalling 40 credits. For this, you will work individually alongside a supervising staff member. Some preparation takes place in the autumn semester but the module is completed in the spring semester.
- Other core and optional modules build upon the foundations established in the earlier years.
Year four
- Year four includes two group projects which are linked to topical research. In total, these make up half of the overall assessment.
- There is also a core module in Management in Industry and a choice of optional modules.
