MEng in Electronic Engineering
Course Overview
The MEng in Electronic Engineering is a UK Level 7 postgraduate degree running across one year full-time or two years part-time, delivered on-campus in central London, fully online or by distance learning. It is designed for learners entering electronic engineering through a UK-recognised route, and it is calibrated around advanced analogue, digital and embedded system design at UK Master engineering level. The programme is aligned with the standards of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Engineering Council, InstMC and the Energy Institute, and it feeds into senior UK roles, chartership routes and doctoral study.
By the end of the programme you will hold a working portfolio in electronic engineering, produced through structured coursework, applied projects and continuous tutor feedback. You will be able to explain and defend your decisions in front of UK sector reviewers, work confidently with the tooling used across UK employers, and step into the next stage of your career or study with an evidence base rather than a bare transcript that is recognised by UK academic and professional bodies.
Key Features
- The MEng in Electronic Engineering sits at the corresponding UK level and is structured tightly around advanced analogue, digital and embedded system design at UK Master engineering level, with each teaching block anchored in a substantive artefact rather than an examination alone.
- Curriculum aligned with the standards of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Engineering Council, InstMC and the Energy Institute, refreshed each year against sector guidance and UK employer expectations in electronic engineering.
- Applied labs and coursework use Cadence, Altium, MATLAB, Simulink, FPGA toolchains, oscilloscopes and RF test equipment throughout the taught stage, with realistic problems set from live UK working practice.
- Weekly tutor-visible seminars led by working London practitioners in electronic engineering, so the working vocabulary matches what you will use in a UK role.
- A named programme tutor is available for one-to-one clinics, feedback and career coaching across every teaching block of the programme.
- Three delivery modes share the same intake cohort, seminars and assessment brief, so mode of study is never a barrier to full participation in electronic engineering discussion.
- Structured writing, documentation and review workshops embedded across the programme, so evidence of electronic engineering practice is produced continuously across every stage.

The LSCE careers service maintains a working contact book of UK electronic engineering employers, runs at least one industry-careers day per academic year, and delivers structured one-to-one application support during the final stage of the MEng in Electronic Engineering. Alumni progress into electronic engineering teams across London and the wider UK, with continued careers-service access after graduation and mentoring introductions during your first roles.
Entry Requirements
- A UK Bachelor's degree at 2:2 or above, or an international equivalent, in a relevant discipline.
- Applicants with five or more years of senior professional experience are considered for admission by portfolio.
- IELTS 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0) for non-native English speakers.
- Two references, normally academic; senior professional accepted for experience-route applicants.
- A one-page personal statement setting out your dissertation or capstone interest, with a paragraph on your specific interest in electronic engineering.
Why Study at LSCE
LSCE is the specialist computing and engineering division of Harold International College of London, teaching in small tutor-visible cohorts and partnering with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Engineering Council, InstMC and the Energy Institute so qualifications carry weight with UK employers. London hosts IMechE and IET headquarters, the Royal Academy of Engineering and a dense cluster of mechanical, electronics and energy consultancies, all within a short tube ride of the campus.
Students on the MEng in Electronic Engineering routinely attend IMechE London Region programmes, IET Young Professionals events and Energy Institute talks during their studies, and choose from on-campus, fully online with lab or GPU provisioning, or distance learning with the same remote provisioning. Every route joins the same intake cohort with weekly tutor visibility, a named programme tutor and warm careers-service introductions across UK mechanical, electrical and energy employers.
