Apply your interest in electronic devices and stand at the forefront of creating innovative new technologies. Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Queen Mary was voted 2nd in UK for Student Voice and 2nd in UK Teaching on my Course in the recent NSS Survey 2024.
Electrical engineers have played a significant role in advancing technology, continuously innovating and enhancing systems that benefit society. Smartphones have revolutionised the way we communicate, electronics in security systems help us feel safer, and new electrical systems in medical equipment have allowed us to monitor patients more effectively.
Keen to play your part? With the rapid expansion of the sustainability and technology sector, the demand for electrical engineers has risen. You could find yourself at the forefront of innovation in manufacturing or aerospace. Designing power electronics to improve wireless communication technologies. Or, how about helping the UK to have cleaner energy to meet the 2050 wind generation targets? With many global organisations having research and development facilities across the UK, the choice is yours.
This programme is shaped by our outstanding industry connections. To set yourself up for employment success, you’ll have the opportunity to apply for industrial experience with our flexible 4-year course. We invite guest speakers from companies such as H&MV Engineering, Ricardo plc, and Octopus Electric Vehicles. We also offer IET membership, so you can receive sector updates and access to networking.
Our course is continually developing and adapting to meet the fast-paced industry demands. Our team of research-active academics update the modules based on the latest developments in the industry. So, you’ll learn about relevant topics from communication and wireless systems to power systems and electric vehicles. Equipped with specialised skills ready to solve real-world problems, you’ll put your knowledge into action in our newly refurbished electronics lab.
This programme will be reviewed for re-accreditation by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) in December 2023. This review is expected to result in accreditation for the 2024 and 2025 intakes. Accreditation can only be granted after a successful review and is subject to approval by the IET’s Academic Accreditation Committee.
This three-year programme is available with an additional foundation year, as well as an optional industrial experience year or year abroad. There is also an integrated masters option, available to high-achieving applicants.

Please note that industrial placements are highly competitive and awarded based on your application, academic track record and performance at interview. If you are not successful in securing a placement, your third year will be spent at Queen Mary completing your studies.
Add on an integrated masters to gain specialised knowledge through completing a high-level group project and your choice of advanced modules. Our MEng meets the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
Go global and add an optional year abroad to your degree. Our School has a wide range of international partners all over the world. Find out more about study abroad opportunities at Queen Mary.
Please note - you can either do a year in industry or a year abroad - you cannot combine these options.
"I can confidently say that the knowledge and skills gained from my degree have always given me a step up when applying for roles, and more importantly, boosted my ability to excel in my role. University will be the most challenging and rewarding time in your life. You will amass a wealth of knowledge and skills that will be applied in ways you wouldn't think possible!"
You’ll spend 15 to 20 hours per week in lectures, laboratory sessions and tutorials. You will also be expected to complete additional hours of independent study. You’ll meet with your personal advisor regularly to ensure that you are settling in and progressing well.
Assessment typically includes a combination of coursework (presentations, assignments, essay report writing, in-class tests, research and project work) and/or examinations in May or June.
Individual and group projects are assessed through a written report, practical demonstration and oral examination.
As a student, your home will be the Mile End campus. You'll spend time in our ITL building, which is only accessible to Electronic Engineering and Computer Science students. This lab is made up of 300 fully networked multimedia workstations. The ITL is due to undergo a £5.8 million refurbishment, funded by the Office for Students.
A range of specialised equipment is also available in the Electronics Lab, where you will take part in lab-based teaching sessions, and work on your practical projects. We have students employed as 'module demonstrators', who are available in labs to help first and second-year students with their work.
The labs are open seven days a week, generally between 8am and midnight. Students can also gain remote access to the School’s computing facilities 24-hours a day.
Alternative offers may be made to applicants taking the Extended Project Qualification.
