ELECTRICAL, ELECTRONIC AND MECHATRONIC ENGINEERING IS FOR YOU IF...
Ask any of our professors and they will tell you it's not so much what you know, it's about the way you think - and this often surprises our students to-be! Take a look at the list below and see if any of these focus areas sound like you, if so this subject could make a very good match.
1. YOU LOVE PROBLEM SOLVING
If you're the kind of person who likes to know how things work, and crucially, how you can make things work smarter - electrical, electronic and mechatronic engineering could be the perfect fit.
2. EMPLOYABILITY IS A PRIORITY
You're in luck. The University of Manchester is the number-one most sought-after university by the UK's Top Graduate Employers (THE Graduate Market, 2023).
On average our electrical, electronic and mechatronic engineering graduates earn £29,302 within 15-months of graduation (Graduate Survey, latest).
“My favourite thing about Manchester is how many different jobs I can get into with a EEE degree due to the vast amount of things I learn during the course."
“I got into EEE because of my love for mathematics and physics. I also enjoy working with circuits, components, and systems and I am interested in understanding the principles and theories behind them."
3. YOU WANT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
The use of electricity, for example, is fundamental to modern life. Without a secure supply, society in its current form would collapse. Consequently, the importance of efficient and sustainable generation, secure distribution, and intelligent user devices cannot be overstated. This will be a lifetime challenge facing the next generation - and electrical and electronic engineers have a vital role to play.
4. YOU WANT TO OPEN DOORS
Research-led, everything you learn at Manchester is at the cutting edge of the sector - our industry links are unrivalled.
Most recently, we've made significant investments in a big variety of areas, from AI to low-energy computing!
“My interest in EEE was motivated by the potential to make a difference in the world through innovative solutions to real-world problems."
“My dad was a mechanic and growing up I saw many of his home projects come to life - including my own drawings. That definitely sparked my interest in engineering."
5. YOU'RE BREAKING STEREOTYPES
Forget the stereotype that electrical, electronic, and mechatronic engineers are good at maths and science but lack creativity!
Here at Manchester, our students are made differently! What boundaries will you break?
