Which are the best universities in the UK for electrical engineering studies and research?

Answer 1

If you want to be an informed member of society, able to understand modern technology as well as the infrastructure on which our society is built, then there can be no better training than that given to Cambridge engineers. Graduates of the Department have benefited from an education that enables them to make a real difference to the world outside while, at the same time, pursuing successful and rewarding careers.
The training that engineers receive is scientifically rigorous. The distinctions between mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists and engineers are blurring all the time. Engineers are team players and work closely with professional colleagues from other backgrounds. Very few people describe themselves as physicists or mathematicians on their passports. Nearly all 'scientists' have to apply their science at some stage and that is engineering. Studying Engineering keeps your options open.
Cambridge University consistently tops the league tables for quality of teaching and research. The study of Engineering has a long history in Cambridge and the University is committed to its future growth and development. Around 10% of all Cambridge students, that is around 1200 undergraduates and 400 postgraduates, study Engineering. The Department achieved the highest rating in all the national Research Assessment Exercises and in the Teaching Quality Assessment undertaken by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, its teaching was considered of the highest standard.
In recent years, the University has forged strong links with industry. Spin-off companies from the University have played a large part in creating the centre for high technology that the city of Cambridge has now become. Known as 'Silicon Fen', the region is host to a great number of small and large companies housed in science and business parks, creating wealth and high levels of employment for all who live in and around Cambridge.
The Cambridge Engineering course covers all the major engineering disciplines: Aeronautical, Biomedical, Civil, Electrical and Electronic, Environmental, Information, Manufacturing, Mechanical and Structural. Chemical Engineering can also be studied, although this will mean transferring to a separate Department after the end of the first year of the course.The Cambridge Engineering course also has a unique structure. The first two years will provide you with an unrivalled breadth of knowledge across the field of engineering, then in the third and fourth years you can concentrate on your chosen area of specialisation.
Almost all engineers now work in multidisciplinary teams. The broad engineering education provided by the first two years of the course makes our graduates particularly suited to team working and therefore particularly attractive to potential employers. Even if you already know which branch of engineering you want to specialise in, you will benefit from the course.

The flexibility of Cambridge Engineering allows you to decide on the basis of your strengths and your interests - we keep all your options open. In our experience, a substantial number of students change their minds about their chosen specialisation once they are more aware of the options available and what each involves. We make this easy. Our graduates emerge fully qualified in the area of their choice, and with as much in-depth knowledge as those from other less flexible courses.

Answer 2

There are no empirical formulae in electrical engineering so there is less lab work and hence research.
This doesn't mean to say it is not a subject for research because it is crying out for it.
Without magnetism, and ignoring sunlight, we would not be at first base in producing electricity.
I think research into this sphere holds the key to the future of mankind. Leeds provided my tuition and like all good teaching left me looking for answers.
This was 60 years ago.

Answer 3

Brunel University is good in West London. They have a school which they call Engineering and Design. They have a good support network of admin staff that can give you advice if your supervisor isn't about and it has pubs on campus, or there is Uxbridge and it is easy to go to central London so good for when you want to let your hair down too.

Answer 4

South Bank Uni is very good at EE research, esp among the new universities. Both their postgrad and undergrad studies are equally good. Check their website up.

Answer 5

check out Loughborough University, UK

Answer 6

Brunel is quite good for engineering but not sure if it is the best

Answer 7

focus tricky on the mathematics and physics!Your on the right song.possibly,possibly,on the grounds that sound is in touch you are able to desire to discover time to check some music;yet i do no longer understand how consumer-friendly or effectual that would desire to be even with the undeniable fact that it would desire to help your admission interview.sturdy luck!
