ABOUT
Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering
Course description
This course covers the fundamentals and cutting-edge research in areas such as GaN materials and devices (behind the solid state lighting LED revolution), nanoscaled materials and devices, and photonic device manufacture. You will develop a comprehensive understanding of the materials and device theory plus practical experimental skills in extensive semiconductor cleanroom labwork, giving you a competitive edge in the jobs market.
Accreditation
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer. You must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to comply with full CEng registration requirements.
Modules
A selection of modules are available each year – some examples are below. There may be changes before you start your course.
Opportunities exist for dissertation studies to be carried out in collaboration with other university research centres or with industrial organisations. Examples of previous projects include:
- Selective area intermixing of quantum dot laser materials.
- Wavelength agile GaAs based distributed feedback lasers.
- Modelling and simulation photonic crystal surface emitting laser.
- Characteristic of III-nitride based ultra energy efficient emitter for solid-state lighting.
- Characterisation of III-V solar cells.
Core modules:
- MSc Investigative Research Project
- Semiconductor Materials
- Principles of Semiconductor Device Technology
- Energy Efficient Semiconductor Devices
- Compound Semiconductor Device Manufacture
Optional modules – three from:
- Power Semiconductor Devices
- Advanced Integrated Electronics
- Nanoscale Electronic Devices
- Optical Communication Devices and Systems
The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we’ll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.
Duration
1 year full-time
Teaching
- Research-led teaching
- Lectures
- Laboratories
- Seminars
- Tutorials
A large practical module covers the design, manufacture and characterisation of a semiconductor component, such as a laser or light emitting diode. This involves background tutorials and hands-on practical work in the UK’s National Epitaxy Facility.
Assessment
- Examinations
- Coursework or reports
- Dissertation with poster presentation
Entry requirements
A 2:1 honours degree in electronic and electrical engineering, physics, maths and other branches of engineering involving significant mathematical competence and technical modules.
You should have a strong background in maths modules and in technical modules related to semiconductors and/or electronics.
We will need evidence of relevant work/practical experience or strong performance in a major individual project during your degree.
Overall IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent.
Fees and funding
- Home (2022 annual fee) : £13,000
- Overseas (2022 annual fee) : £27,350
The fee listed is for the advertised mode of study. If you’re studying for an alternative qualification or via a different mode of study (eg full-time, part-time) then the fee could be different. Due to inflation, the fee for Home students could also increase after your first year of study.

accommodation
The international undergraduate and postgraduate students at this university can use different types of accommodation options and live in a safe and vibrant environment to focus entirely on their studies and get the best result, also the students can use the cafes and bars gyms, and other living facilities, on the other hand, they can have an accommodation tour and Sheffield city tour to become familiar with their living environment and make the most suitable decision, as we said, this university offers various accommodation options with different fees like £6,782.58 to £10,210.62 for a rental place in the city for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and they can choose to have a private or shared room.
After Graduation
The international students can work up to 20 hours in part-time jobs in the UK, however, they must refer to their visa to see whether they have study and work permits or not, we recommend you to focus only on your education to get the best results and be able to find the most suitable jobs in the UK or the global market right after graduation, on the other hand, if the international applicants need extra financial help to pay for their tuition fee, living, and study expenses, they can find part-time jobs under some conditions, also if the students find related jobs to their educational fields (with the help of the university), they will obtain more real experience and skills aside from the theoretical knowledge that they acquire during their study period.
