Welcome to the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering

The top electronic and electrical engineering school in the UK based on the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), with a grade-point average (GPA) of 3.05, and an overwhelming 80% of staff rated internationally excellent or World leading (3* or 4*). This enables us to attract funding to invest further in our research and facilities and to attract and retain outstanding staff.
100 years of history and has built on its long standing tradition of microwave engineering to also lead the world in terahertz technology and the semiconductor, bio- and quantum electronic aspects of nanotechnology.
Recent investment in infrastructure and research staff in communications and signal processing has projected that area onto the international stage.
Our engineers designed, built and installed the cellular data-networking technology used for gathering information at the Pierre-Auger Observatory in Argentina: the world's largest cosmic ray laboratory.
We are home to two research insitutes, Institute of Microwaves & Photonics and Institute of Integrated Information Systems

Strength in research ensures our undergraduate, taught postgraduate masters and postgraduate research degree programmes are at the forefront of knowledge and thinking.
Supportive and student-focused as evidenced by high National Student Survey scores.
Well-connected nationally and internationally, within academia and industry, bringing a richness to our degree programmes and our teaching.
