requirements are given below.
-
IELTS score of at
least 6.0 with a minimum score of at
least 5.0 in each element
-
TOEFL score of at
least 550 or computerised test
equivalent of 213
-
SPM English, minimum
of B4
-
O-level or GCSE in
English, minimum of Grade C
Other English Language
qualifications may be accepted and
further information on this can be
obtained from the Admissions Tutor.
IELTS is administered
through British Council offices in many
countries. For information about your
local test centre contact the British
Council in your own country. Information
is available on a
web site
or telephone the British Council in
Malaysia. Please note that you should
apply to do the "Academic" version of
the test.
TOEFL
is administered by the
Educational Testing Service in the
USA. Information is available from the
web site
or telephone ++1 609 7717330. Please
note that we will not accept a TOEFL
result without a TWE score.
The decision on taking
the MEng or BEng is taken at the end of
the second year of the Programme.
There is an exchange
programme which allows students to spend
part of their course at the UK campus.
This is normally available to students
during the second year of the programme
or third year if studying for MEng. For
the exchange, tuition fees would be at
Malaysian Campus rates but students will
need to provide for higher
cost-of-living in the UK.
Programme Details
BEng/MEng (Honours) Electronic
Engineering
Electronics Engineering
has its basis in physical principles
such as Maxwell's equations and band
theory. An Electrical Engineer will be
equally familiar with the behaviour of
electrons in energy bands as he will
with the programming languages required
to control microprocessors and
microcontrollers.
Due to the wide range of
topics under the general heading of
"Electrical Engineering" the degree is
commonly divided into various courses
which reflect emphasis in certain broad
areas of specialization. In all
University of Nottingham campuses where
the Electrical Engineering degree is
offered, the areas of specialization and
the corresponding degree awarded is
listed below.

One of the main
differences between Electronics
Engineering and the other fields of
Electrical Engineering listed above is
the emphasis on physical electronics,
and the design of electronic systems.
This knowledge skill set will enable the
graduate Engineer to excel in fields
where electronics systems are used to
design and control manufacturing
equipment such as those in the
semiconductor industry.
The School of Electrical
and Electronics Engineering at The
University of Nottingham has a long
history of research and consultancy
especially in the fields of electrical
machines medical electronics, optics and
electromagnetic compatibility. The
programme in England is led by academics
of the highest quality and this is
reflected in the high standing that the
University has in any league table which
publishes the relative standing of
Universities in the United Kingdom.

BEng/MEng (Honours) Electronic
and Communications (Telecommunication)
Engineering
Electronics and
Communications Engineering has its basis
in physical principles such as Maxwell's
equations and newer techniques such as
pulse code modulation and methods used
in mobile communications such as TDMA.
An Electronics and Communications
Engineer will be equally familiar with
traditional radio or analogue
communications as he is with the
concepts of artificial intelligence in
mobile communications networks.
