The Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering (EEE) was established in 1885 as the first department of electrical technology in England. It was founded by Professor Sir Ambrose Fleming, inventor of the thermionic valve and hence the founder of the discipline of electronics.
That same pioneering tradition of innovation and excellence continues to underpin our work. We push in new directions across research, education and entrepreneurship, building on our long-established links with industry. We are committed to develop individuals and careers, across staff and students, developing and supporting our subject discipline.
Welcome to EEE!
If circumstances were different, we would love to welcome to our department and show you around our labs. Since we're hosting this virtually, we thought we could give you a virtual tour of our department too.
We offer a number of Masters programs in a variety of cutting-edge themes taught by world research leaders in their fields. If you want to continue your studies or renew your skills we have something for you. We use a variety of teaching methods in our courses with a big emphasis in practical labs. We also allow for flexible and part-time attendance so you can study whilst working
Learn the principles of management for the ICT and telecommunications industry. We aim to create highly skilled technical managers with broad knowledge across both technology and business.
Are you passionate about the fundamental components of the internet? Graduates acquire the skills necessary to design, manage and maintain the networks that will build the Future Internet.
Learn about the key technologies required for the physical layer of broadband communications systems. The programme unites concepts across both radio and optical communication.
This is a one-year research degree dealing with areas of technology and systems related to telecommunications, communications technology and the next generation of IP support networks.
This is a joint degree with the University of Cambridge. Students study at both universities and benefit from the combined strengths and academic excellence of two institutions.
Nanotechnology is a key technology in industries ranging from microelectronics to healthcare. This MSc is designed for graduates from the physical sciences and relevant engineering disciplines.
Our department offers an exceptionally vibrant experience for research students across a wide variety of topics.
Research in our department
Our research spans the range of the subject from fundamental materials investigations through the creation of novel devices and sub-systems to large-scale systems studies.
