Electronic Engineering (by research)

Lead transformative research in areas such as computational electromagnetics and nanotechnology. The Electronic Engineering (by research) program is offered at the University of York .

Quick Facts:

• The focus of your work will be an independent research project. We provide training which will equip you with skills in a wide range of research methods to support your growing expertise. Your research will culminate in a thesis, which is usually around 15,000 to 20,000 words long.
• You can take advantage of advanced taught courses to help fill any gaps in background knowledge required for your research project. The choice of courses taken will be made together with your supervisor at the beginning of the program. Your progress throughout this course will be continually guided by said supervisor and a thesis advisory panel.

You will develop your critical thinking, engineering, mathematics and technology and problem solving skills, opening the door to a wide range of career opportunities.

• Testing engineer
• Project manager
• Academic researcher
• Further academic study, eg PhD
• Product development engineer
• Software developer

Course structure:

• You will be based on Campus West. Most of your training and supervision meetings will take place here, though your research may take you further afield.

• All full-time students are allocated a desk space in the School for the duration of their program. Dependent on your project, you might also use other facilities, including NAMAS-accredited EMC measurement facilities, clean room, well-equipped music and media technology suites and anechoic chambers.
