Electronic engineers produce the next generation of computers, satellites and mobile communication systems, and the University of Surrey is positioned at the forefront of these developments.
With the University's brand new 5G Innovation Centre, four internationally leading research centres and partnership (in collaboration with University of Strathclyde) with the National Physical Laboratory, your time with Surrey will enable you to become an expert in your specialism.
From revolutionary approaches in spacecraft design and ingenious communications systems to nanostructures with incredible properties and the manipulation of light itself, the University's research in electronic engineering is at the most exciting edge of technological innovation.
Through consistent investment stemming from our deep commitment to world-class, sustainable research programmes, the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering has built up an impressive infrastructure to support all its activities.
The interdisciplinary nature of much of our work encourages us to constantly explore new opportunities to cross boundaries, providing you with truly world-class opportunities.

Programme Overview

There are around 300 PhD students within the Department and most of our doctoral research is offered by our PhD.
The Department also has an EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training on Applications of Next Generation Accelerators in collaboration with the Universities of Strathclyde and Huddersfield, and Queen’s University Belfast.
The quality of the University's research is recognised by prestigious prizes from industry and government bodies (both British and international). We have a strong track record of funding from UK research councils and the European Union.
Why not discover the experiences of past and present students studying the subject, including Tom Wantock, Soheyl Soodmand and Charles Malleson?
In recent news, one of Surrey's PhD students' research efforts was recently praised by the Saudi ambassador to the UK and another PhD student won a Silver Medal at the International Astronautical Congress.

Location

One of the world’s great financial, political and cultural capitals is connected to Guildford by a short, fast, direct train link, so you can be in London for a breakfast and back again well before lunch. And if you need to go further away, you’ll find both Gatwick and Heathrow international airports right on our doorstep. But it’s not just the great transport links that make us the best place for you to be.

Enjoying all the benefits of the Courts of Residence on the Stag Hill campus, the University's accommodation at nearby Manor Park is situated in an area of great natural beauty. Designed as a car-free student village, with a subsidised bus service, Manor Park offers a first-class learning and living environment. In addition Hazel Farm on the edge of Guildford provides an affordable option with the added benefit of a free bus pass valid throughout the town. You can access the University easily from all of our Courts of Residence, whether on foot or by bus.
