Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology (MEng)
Program Overview
Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology (MEng)
Overview
Apply your engineering at the nanoscale, as you learn to design and test microscopic electronic devices. Discover the innovations in nanotech that will power the next generation of computers and electronics. Our 4-year, integrated master's will teach you electronic engineering, then specialise in nanotechnology topics. You'll graduate with the skills to work in any area of the electronics industry.
