The MSc Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme covers design, modelling, and test algorithms for complex electrical and electronic assemblies. Software development is an integral part of a modern electronic engineers’ role and to support this, software tools such as VEE, MULTISIM and MATLAB are used extensively in the course. The usage of electronic, automation and motor drive systems has grown immensely over the past few years in both industrial and domestic applications. This domination is based on recent advances in power electronics, electric motors, and control engineering. It has been observed that almost half of the global electrical energy is consumed today by electric derives and automation systems. Electrical and Electronic engineers are also involved with advanced industrial control including design, software programming and control of embedded systems using microcontrollers and microcomputers. The telecoms for mobile phone applications requires electronic engineers to provide the development, implementation and maintenances of advanced communication systems and devices. There are also many roles for them in the energy industries, for example, designing and running complex control systems such as those needed to run the National Grid or to control a nuclear power station. Key course features: - Open door policy to meet with tutors - Additional support provided through workshops - Select from optional modules to enhance your curriculum pathway The programme is accredited with the IET. (Subject to accreditation in 2023)
Getting in
As the university states it
Normal entry requirements for full time and part time intake will be one of: - A Bachelor of Engineering Honours Degree, or other Bachelor Honours Degree, normally with an honour’s degree with at least a 2:2 classification or equivalent in an appropriate engineering discipline. - Applicants who do not meet the minimum entry requirement but have substantial professional experience in a relevant specialist area may be accepted, subject to interview and references. - Equivalent qualifications of another overseas country which are deemed satisfactory by the program team. Normally, the applicants applied through entry points (b) and (c) will be required to attend for an interview. This is not always possible, e.g., overseas students, in which case the application form and ‘home’ tutor’s recommendations will be used to decide suitability; phone, internet and video conferencing may also be used. Places on the programmes will be offered based on applicants’ background qualifications and, where appropriate, experiences. Non-standard entry criteria According to the Regulations for Wrexham University: ‘Taught master’s Degrees’, it is possible for a non-graduate to be admitted to candidature provided that: - They have a non-graduate qualification which Wrexham University has deemed to be of a satisfactory standard for the purpose of post graduate admission, and - they held, for a minimum of two years, a responsible position which is relevant to the programme to be pursued within the previous five years.’ Irrespective of a candidate’s entry qualifications, the student must provide evidence to the satisfaction of the interview panel of his/her ability to complete academic work of the required standard to successfully complete the scheme of study proposed.
