A PhD in electronic engineering will allow you to explore innovative contributions to research and technological development in a wide range of domains related to electronics. Our research opportunities span from machine learning to wireless communication, from intelligent systems and robotics to computer-assisted clinical diagnosis, allowing you to pioneer novel solutions in cutting-edge application areas that are shaping the world we live in.
The focus of your work will be an independent research project. We provide training which will equip you with skills in a wide range of research methods to support your growing expertise. Your research will culminate in a thesis, which is usually around 15,000 to 20,000 words long.
You are encouraged to take advanced taught courses to help fill any gaps in background knowledge required for your research project. The choice of courses taken will be made together with your supervisor at the beginning of the programme.
You may be able to transfer to the PhD programme, if your project is of a sufficiently high standard and has the potential to be explored in greater depth.
You will be supervised on a one-to-one basis by a member of the academic staff. We also offer opportunities for co-supervision, within the School and across the wider University, to support interdisciplinary projects. Your supervisor will help guide your progress, supported by a thesis advisory panel.
Before applying, we encourage you to learn about our academics and how their work and expertise fit your interests. Our academic staff are happy to answer any questions on their research interests or discuss a project you might have in mind. Most of our academics accept applications for self-funded MSc study all year round.

This course is run by the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology.
You will be based on Campus West . Most of your training and supervision meetings will take place here, though your research may take you further afield.
Full-time students are provided with dedicated desk spaces within the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology for the entirety of their programme. Dependent on your project, you might also use other facilities , including NAMAS-accredited EMC measurement facilities, clean room, well-equipped music and media technology suites and anechoic chambers
You should have, or be about to complete, a 2:2 or above honours degree (or equivalent) in:
or a closely related subject.
English language requirements
If English is not your first language you must provide evidence of your ability.
The MSc Electronic Engineering by research course will help to extend your knowledge of the electronic engineering field. You will be able to explore and research new and forefront ideas in engineering to improve current technologies offered or to develop new innovations, which will strengthen sectors and organisations within the engineering industry. You will develop your critical thinking, engineering, mathematics and technology and problem solving skills, opening the door to a wide range of career opportunities.
Our dedicated careers team offer specific support including a programme of professional researcher development and careers workshops and 1:1 career support sessions. They will help you to build up your employability portfolio and to engage in activities that will build up your skills and experience within and outside of your research work.
Apply for this course
If you are applying for an advertised research project, please include the project name in your application. You should contact the project leader in advance, who may also ask you to submit a full research proposal. Advertised research projects may be funded or self-funded, as indicated in the advert.
Find a project
If you are not applying for a particular research project, you should contact the member of the academic staff you wish to work with, who may provide you with a research/project outline.
The research proposal needs to describe the nature of your proposed study and give some indication of how you will conduct your research. The purpose of this exercise is to ensure that you and your potential supervisor(s) have matching research interests. The proposal should be 250 to 350 words in length. It must be in English, and be your own words.

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (nee EEE)
We've been at the forefront of research and teaching within the field of electrical engineering for over a century, and in electronics since its advent in the mid 20th century. The use of electronics has become mainstream in a very short period of time, as we find innovative solutions to meet our everyday needs and new challenges.
Our MSc postgraduate taught degrees provide you with an opportunity to further your knowledge of electronic and electrical engineering, while potentially specialising in a specific field of the subject, enabling you to pursue a particular direction in either your chosen career or further study.
Whether you’re interested in the latest communication systems, cutting-edge semiconductor research, or developing your understanding of electrical machines and drives for the vehicles of the future, studying with us will help you grow as a student and researcher.
The department offers postgraduate students a choice of four one-year, full-time masters courses, which combine taught study on a wide range of modules and an exciting individual research project. You’ll learn from our academic experts, the majority of whom have strong links with partners in industry.
Our state-of-the-art teaching laboratories allow you to gain exposure to the world-leading research environment of the department whilst undertaking your project, and get hands on with equipment used in industry as preparation for your career. All of our courses are also accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
I chose the University of Sheffield due to its great reputation for engineering courses. More specifically, I chose electrical engineering because I had conducted an electronics based final year project for my undergraduate degree. I wanted to continue studying electronics and gain further knowledge in the field.
