The Student
Career Interests
This course is typically suited for people with the following Career Interests. If these interests do not describe you, this course may prepare you for work you may not find satisfying.
Realist
Realists are usually interested in 'things' - such as buildings, mechanics, equipment, tools, electronics etc. Their primary focus is dealing with these - as in building, fixing, operating or designing them. Involvement in these areas leads to high manual skills, or a fine aptitude for practical design - as found in the various forms of engineering.
Realists like to find practical solutions to problems using tools, technology and skilled work. Realists usually prefer to be active in their work environment, often do most of their work alone, and enjoy taking decisive action with a minimum amount of discussion and paperwork.
Career Progression
The MEngSc opens exceptional career opportunities for high-achieving electrical engineering graduates, providing advanced technical expertise and research skills highly valued across industry and academia. Graduates develop essential capabilities for R&D roles, product development, and technical leadership while building problem-solving and project management skills that set them apart.
Develop advanced technical expertise essential for R&D roles, product development, and technical leadership
??Enhance problem-solving and project management skills that differentiate graduates in competitive markets
It is even possible to apply to transition directly into the School’s PhD programme with advanced standing if early progress in the Research Masters is strong.
