Why choose this course
*Measured by % positivity across all questions for all providers listed in the Guardian University Guide League Tables.
Our innovative BEng and MEng Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology courses allow you to apply cutting-edge theory to existing engineering problems and technologies.
Throughout your studies, you’ll combine professional engineering skills with scientific research methods, equipping you for industry. You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in our Professional Training placements scheme, which prepares students for roles in various technology-based sectors.
What you will study
Whether you’re interested in graphene or quantum engineering, our BEng and MEng Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology courses give you the specialist skills you need to work on modern nanoscale device fabrication.
After getting a firm grounding in electrical science and electronics, you’ll learn about:
- Nanotechnology
- Power and energy efficient electronic devices
- Production and characterisation of nanomaterials
- Quantum science.
You’ll also have opportunities to work with academics in our Advanced Technology Institute through project work.
You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng. The MEng builds on the BEng with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification. Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies.

Facilities
Extensive teaching laboratories, plus networked Linux and Windows computer suites with 24-hour access, are available to all electrical and electronic engineering undergraduates.
You’ll also have access to state-of-the-art research facilities in Year 3 if you’re completing a project linked to one of our research centres:
- AI and audio-visual signal processing (Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing)
- Computer networking and communications (Institute for Communication Systems)
- Electronics or nanotechnology (Advanced Technology Institute)
- Power electronics and space engineering (Surrey Space Centre).
We actively encourage you to do project work outside of timetabled hours – as long as you follow safe working practices.
Students have the chance to carry out their own projects in the ‘Makerspace’ work area run by SurreyEARS (Electronics and Amateur Radio Society) with support from the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering.

View a complete listing of all ongoing fees for our undergraduate courses.
- Fees for UK students: The University will apply annual regulated increases in the fee rates as set by Government each year, in order to maintain the same value in real terms.
- Fees for EU students: The UK is now no longer part of the EU, we are awaiting further instruction from the UK government and we will publish this as soon as it is provided. Find out more information about Studying in the UK and the scholarships for EU students.
- Fees for international students: Annual fees will increase by 4% for each subsequent year of study, rounded up to the nearest £100, subject to any overriding applicable legislative requirements.
- Fees for international students with an integrated foundation year: The programme fee for Year 0 will match the lowest Year 1 overseas fee rate from across the substantive programmes for that year of entry. Students subsequently progressing into Year 1 will be liable for the same fee as overseas students joining at Year 1 for the same programme in that year. Annual fees after Year 1 will increase by 4% for each subsequent year of study, rounded up to the nearest £100, subject to any overriding applicable legislative requirements.
The University will assess your fee status. If you are unsure whether you are likely to be considered a home, EU or overseas student for fees purposes, the UKCISA website offers more information.
Payment schedule
- Students in receipt of a Tuition Fee Loan: will have their fees paid by the Student Loans Company in line with their schedule.
- International students, or UK/EU students who have not taken out a Tuition Fee Loan: are required to pay their fees either in full at the beginning of the programme or in two instalments as follows:
- 50% payable 10 days after the invoice date (expected to be early October of each academic year)
- 50% in January of the same academic year.
The exact date(s) will be detailed on invoices. Students on certain part-time programmes, where fees are paid on a modular or stage basis, are not eligible to pay their fees by instalment.
