MEng和BEng学位的课程很普遍，直到第3级结束为止，在该课程中，学生学习从低电流电子学到高功率系统的广泛主题。然后选择为期两年的MEng课程的候选人，该课程包括学术界/工业界联合小组的面试。4级和5级的增强形式有两种。技术研究已提高到硕士水平，课程大纲在工程管理领域得到了极大扩展。从夏季开始，六个月的工业实习在4至5级之间进行，一直持续到5级的第一学期结束。
Heriot-Watt ranked 1st in Scotland and 4th in the UK for Electrical and Electronic Engineering by the Times and Sunday Times 2021. From smartphones and household appliances, to robotics and energy production, this subject is essential to our daily lives. The MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering is a 5-year programme, which shares a common structure with the BEng degree for the first 3 years. Students study a broad-based range of topics from low current electronics to high power systems. At the end of year 3, candidates are selected to progress to the MEng course for a further 2 years of study. During the 4th and 5th years, technical studies are advanced to a Masters level and the syllabus is greatly extended in the area of engineering management. A six-month industrial placement takes place over summer, after 4th year, and runs until the end of the first semester of the final year. The Research Institute of Signals, Sensors and Systems (ISSS) is one of five Research Institutes forming the research infrastructure of the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences (EPS). The ISSS has expertise in the fields of signal and image processing, novel manufacturing technologies, microsystems, microwave engineering, mobile communications systems and autonomous systems. Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
