Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Electrical Engineering

 
Introduction

 

Research students pursue a specific aspect of a subject in depth, with a view to contributing to the existing body of knowledge, under the supervision of a staff member with similar research interests. MPhil students must satisfactorily investigate or evaluate a chosen area, demonstrate an understanding of the context and significance of the work, display sustained independent effort and original thought and present a clear, complete thesis of a quality worthy of publication.
 

Students are also required to complete certain taught and guided-study subjects before submitting their theses. These subjects are chosen by the student, with advice from the supervisor, from a wide range on offer. The requirements for this compulsory coursework component* are 9 credits (equivalent to 3 MSc. subjects).
