Electrical & Electronic Engineering

Advantages: Exam is hard
Disadvantages: No coordination

...Well, if anyone want to pursue his or her Master in Engineering, do bother to choose Strathclyde. I was in the MAster in Power Engineering course. Eventhough, it is one of the biggest and top department in the whole UK, but top in what sense. It is only during the tough examination question that makes it the top Power engineering department. Apart from this, the structure of the course is poor, one will certainly miss 30% of the lectures due to cancelling of classes. In this course, there wouldn't be any seminar on the career prospect for student. The life here is you just pay the tuition fees, attend the lectures if there are any and sit for the exam. You fail the exam you are out. If you pass, then proceed to thesis. After that you just leave.... Read review

Advantages: Industrial Placement
Disadvantages: None

...I enjoy my time studying at Robert Gordon's between 1991 to 1994 for a BSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. I found the industrial placement at the end of second year very useful as this became my first job on leaving University. These placements are now standard on many of the courses available at Robert Gordon's. They now have the best graduate into employment of any University in Aberdeen. The course itself gave me a a good grounding in the subject covering everything from Maths to building electronic projects like a DC power supply and a logic tester/probe. Each term followed on from the last, so there was also a large number of part time student doing the course.... Read review

Advantages: excellent course structure, computer facilities,lecturers
Disadvantages: first year can be a bit repetitive

...I studied at Birmingham Uni doing electronic and electrical engineering between 1996 and 2000 (just graduated). I`ve got friends at other universities (loughborough+nottingham) who have studied similar courses and have been able to see that Birmingham has a far better course structure, lecturers, and facilities than these (and many other universities). Although the first year repeats a lot of A-level Maths, the second, third and fourth (if you stidy MEng) years contain some very interesting courses and there`s plenty of options to choose from. The school has a policy which means that all lecturers issue comprehensive notes at the beginning of lecture courses, which means that when you do go to lectures, you can actually concentrate on the information that`s trying to be taught to you rather than scribble desperately all the time...
