    Course Summary

    An MEng in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from Swansea University is designed to give students a general background in EEE (Electrical and Electronic Engineering), and prepares them to solve real world engineering problems in an industrial or commercial context.

    This course will set you on the path to becoming a Chartered Engineer, and provides the educational component for Incorporated Engineer status. Perhaps more importantly, it includes a year in a paid industrial placement where you can practice your growing skills and grow your professional network.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
