Course Structure

Modules

Students take eight taught modules, of which at least six must be 5BX (core EEE) modules, and up to two may be selected from other approved options. Please note that module offerings are subject to change and may not be available every academic year or term.

Teaching methods

Modules will be taught via traditional lecture courses, some with associated practical classes. The course will emphasize coursework in several of the taught modules.  Modules typically consist of twelve lectures, two examples classes and two hours of other coursework, although this may vary depending on the specific activities being offered.

Research Project

Projects are solicited from prospective supervisors and formally assigned by Week 5 of the Michaelmas Term. These will not be of an experimental nature, but are designed to get students to study in depth a particular area of electrical and electronic engineering that is currently a topic of research.  Students will receive supervisions to help guide them in their study and their research work will lead to a dissertation (not more than 15,000 words) and a presentation.  Projects run from November until late July.
