Programme description
The Degree of Master of Philosophy (MPhil) is a research degree in which the student pursues a single project for a period of one year.
Our School is one of the largest electrical and electronic engineering schools in the UK. We have strong links with industry in a number of sectors and are renowned for our theoretical and applied research. We have over 70 academic staff and their research interests cover virtually all aspects of the subject; from the generation and distribution of electrical energy through to photonics and functional materials.
More information about the areas of research interest in the School can be found on the following web pages:

Fees
For entry in the academic year beginning September 2021, the tuition fees are as follows:
-
MPhil (full-time)
UK students (per annum): £4,500
International, including EU, students (per annum): Standard £24,500; Band B £26,000; Band C £27,000; Band D £29,000
Further information for EU students can be found on our dedicated EU page.
Please note for the majority of projects where experimentation requires further resource: higher fee bands (where quoted) will be charged rather than the base rate for supervision, administration and computational costs. The fees quoted above will be fully inclusive and, therefore, you will not be required to pay any additional bench fees or administration costs.
All fees for entry will be subject to yearly review and incremental rises per annum are also likely over the duration of the course for UK/EU students (fees are typically fixed for International students, for the course duration at the year of entry). For general fees information please visit: postgraduate fees . Always contact the department if you are unsure which fee applies to your project.
