Project
MSc students undertake a project within their chosen research specialisation. It may be possible for this to be carried out in one of our industrial or academic partners.
Courses are taught by a blend of lectures, tutorials and practical laboratories. Advanced technical engineering expertise is developed in parallel with communication, project management and leadership skills, all of which are vital for your future career. Assessment techniques include written assignments, exams and practical team-based and individual projects.
You have access to our extensive computing network, and purpose built teaching spaces equipped with the latest technologies. Interaction with Industry is provided through teaching seminars and networking events, and we deliver weekly seminars to support your learning and career development. Course tutors are available to address individual concerns.
I had an amazing time designing and programming applications related to communications, digital signal processing and biometrics among others. Most assignments included working in a group with international students from all over the world, providing a priceless experience and advanced engineering skills I put into practice every day.

I have always had a strong interest in renewable energy and the electrical challenges which it poses. I selected the Electronic and Electrical Engineering MSc at Strathclyde University due to its renowned reputation for Electrical Engineering and the recently established Doctoral Wind Energy centre. This ensures that Strathclyde is involved in new developments across a number of renewable fields and also provides strong links to industry. I found the MSc although challenging to be extremely informative and rewarding.
The work I am involved in is extremely varied and I have been involved in a number of different projects including, conducting electrical power and fault level studies and evaluating different transmission network options to accommodate renewable projects.
