Every program is designed to complement the research activities in Electronic Engineering. The MRes program offers a specialized path for exceptional students prepared to undertake independent research (potentially with a defined research objective), either as preparation for PhD studies or as a standalone research qualification valuable for research careers and graduate employment with transferable skills.
The independent research thesis (120 credits) is typically expected to meet standards suitable for publication in top-tier peer-reviewed journals. All MRes programs share a common taught component. Upon successfully completing this component, students can focus on a specialized subject for their thesis.
Career Opportunities
Alumni from these programs have pursued careers across diverse sectors of the electronics industry, including optical communications, telecommunications firms, government research institutions such as GCHQ, and nanotechnology ventures ranging from startups to global corporations.
Many MRes graduates advance to further postgraduate studies, progressing to MPhil and PhD programs. Regardless of career paths, MRes holders possess proven independent research capabilities and the expertise to plan and oversee complex technical projects. They also acquire discipline-specific scientific and engineering competencies—from scanning probe microscopy to finite element modeling—that are directly applicable in technical industries.
