If you are looking to retrain with new skills, this programme could be for you.
Here are the top five reasons to consider a master’s in Electrical Engineering at the University of Bolton:
Engineers of every kind are in serious shortage in the UK, and in order to fill the skills gap, recruiters are offering attractive salaries and packages. Job prospects are fantastic for electronic engineers, and retraining with a master’s degree can make you highly sought after.
Electrical engineers enjoy great job satisfaction. They work at the forefront of practical technology, the type of technology that gets used by people every day. From building solar energy systems to mobile phones, you can make a positive impact and improve quality of life for all.
A wide range of industries rely on electronic engineering, so this means you’ll be able to apply your skills to any sector. Whether you’re interested in robotics, transportation, construction, manufacturing, or any other industry, a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering will give you the skills you need to land your dream job.
A master’s degree can also serve as a platform to focus on a specialist area of your choosing. While many of our graduates move into full-time work upon graduation, others may have an interest in research and may enter into further education to achieve a PhD.
This programme is the perfect stepping stone for achieving your Chartered Engineer (CEng) certification. Being a registered CEng engineer demonstrates your professionalism, giving you more earning power and helping you access more career opportunities.
