Strand Campus
Strand Campus sits along the Thames at London's cultural heart. Alongside world-class teaching spaces, students enjoy access to the pedestrianised Strand Quad, with Somerset House and iconic landmarks just steps away.
Overview
Our MEng in Electronic Engineering opens the door to a rewarding career at the forefront of global technological innovation. Our programme offers a rigorous foundation in core principles, including foundational and advanced electronics, mathematics and design thinking, combined with extensive hands-on experimentation and project work. Our integrated approach empowers you to apply your knowledge in practical, impactful and innovative ways, preparing you to lead in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
Our course focuses on four key areas in electronics: circuits and systems, signal processing, computing and communication. You will develop in-depth knowledge of and practical expertise in circuit analysis and design, communication systems, computation and programming, and hardware design. This hands-on experience enables you to develop not only advanced technical expertise, but also the creativity, problem-solving ability and interdisciplinary insight essential for driving innovation in today’s world.
The first two years contain everything we believe Engineers’ need as a solid foundation to explore real-world problems in the third year. This includes physics, electrical and electronic engineering, signals and systems, materials, mathematical modelling and programming. This is coupled with modules in design competencies, equipping you to understand materials, manufacturing, product lifecycle management, and environmental, social and ethical contexts.
In the third year, alongside core modules deepening key knowledge areas circuits, hardware communication systems, and hardware design, you will get to choose from a diverse range of optional modules. You will then undertake a substantial individual project of your choice aligned to our research areas such as designing a robot or a solar energy system.
You will then undertake a major group project inspired by an industry or research challenge within a cohort that includes students from our General Engineering MEng and MSc in Robotics. Projects are inspired by real-world problems in areas such as global engineering challenges, robotics and AI, health and wellbeing technology, environmental action and sustainable innovation, automotive and future mobility and more.
Key benefits
- 8th in the UK for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (QS subject rankings 2026).
- Unique combination of electronic engineering, general engineering and robotics modules.
- State-of-the-art engineering laboratories and collaboratives spaces for learning and extra-curricular at the heart of the Strand Campus in London.
- Study as part of a diverse student cohort - King’s is one of the leading Russell Group universities by proportion of female undergraduates on its Engineering programmes.
From my experience, not only have the staff and research students been super approachable and encouraging, but they have also been super generous in letting me take part in some of their ongoing projects, from developing innovative surgical tools or working with connecting drones to 5G networks!
