Program overview
A research master in electronics, covering research method, advanced electronic systems, literature analysis and a substantial supervised research project with laboratory work.
At GBP 22,500 a Master of Research is preparation for doctoral study rather than for industry, which is a different purpose from the taught master.
Master of Research in Electronic Engineering is taught at the Bangor University, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because the electronic engineering research master is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after the electronic engineering research master ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after the electronic engineering research master you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to the electronic engineering research master as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so the electronic engineering research master cannot support a family move.
Applicants to Master of Research in Electronic Engineering need a completed bachelor degree with a minimum of 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the electronic engineering research master is recorded at GBP 22,500 a year. Bangor charges no application fee, so applying for the electronic engineering research master costs you nothing, and no scholarship is recorded against it. the electronic engineering research master lists three entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages the the electronic engineering research master application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
