Southampton University
The School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at Southampton University is the biggest and strongest academic unit in the country in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
It has been graded 5* in both 1996 and 2001 Research Assessment Exercises, has been awarded perfect mark of 24/24 in Teaching Quality Assessment and is consistently coming top in The Times league tables. Research in Electrical Power Engineering has very long tradition and is at the highest international level; this is supported by particularly strong industrial links. Graduates from Electrical and Electromechanical courses at Southampton are in great demand by industrial and research institutions.
IET accredited courses at the University of Southampton
The School of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton offers a broad range of engineering-based degree courses. These include computer science, electronics, electromechanical engineering and electrical engineering, which reflects the school's unique distinction of being graded 5* both for Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Computer Science in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise. All of these courses are accredited by the IET.
Subjects can be studied for 3 years, leading to the award of BEng, or 4 years for MEng. Particular features of the Electrical and Electromechanical Engineering courses are their breadth and strong power engineering elements. From Part I, these degrees cover subjects that range from the fundamental electromagnetics of superconducting systems to the principles of power generation and transmission; they therefore include elements of electronics, computing, mechanics and advanced materials, as well as traditional power engineering. It is this combination of breadth, fundamentals and their applications that gives these courses their strength.
Subjects are prescribed during the first and second years, while a wide choice of options exist for subsequent years. These include both technical courses and subjects such as management, law and foreign languages. In the third year, a project also provides the opportunity to undertake a design study, or to work at the frontiers of knowledge within a research group, in an area such as robotics, electrostatics, high voltage engineering or smart materials. MEng students also take part in a number of major multidisciplinary project activities, along with students from other disciplines within the Faculty of Engineering, Science and Mathematics.
Teaching of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Southampton was awarded a perfect mark of 24/24 in Teaching Quality Assessment and is consistently ranked top in The Times league table.
