- Provides a combination of general engineering knowledge and specialisation in electrical engineering knowledge and understanding to prepare you to apply existing and emerging technology.
- You will develop your ability to demonstrate effective graduate skills and a personal commitment to professional standards, recognising obligations to society, the profession and the environment.
- Opportunity to study individual modules for personal or professional development, or full masters degree.
Admissions
Scholarships and Funding
Eligible Scotland-domiciled students studying full-time can access loans up to £11,500 from the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS). This comprises a tuition fee loan of up to £7,000 and a non-income assessed living cost loan of £4,500.
Eligible Scotland-domiciled students studying part-time can apply for a tuition fee loan from SAAS. You must be intending to complete the course in no longer than twice the length of time it would take for a full-time student. For example, if your course is available to full-time students as a one-year program, you will be funded for a maximum of two years of part-time study. If your course does not have a full-time option, you must complete it within three years. You can apply for a tuition fee loan up to £7,000, which will be paid pro-rata for each academic year of study.
Curriculum
To achieve the award of MSc you must complete a research project/dissertation. This may be coordinated and conducted in conjunction with your employer and must be in an area of specialisation within the field of electrical engineering.
