Hello @PeterPpp,
I'm in my Masters year studying Electronic Engineering at the University of Portsmouth (with a non British background myself) and I think I can help you with your question.
I've been studying at Portsmouth for 4 years now, and I've also been on a placement year, this delaying my studies by one year, so I've got the chance to see all my friends and colleagues finishing one year before me, and I can say that all of them have got into the job market straight after university, and obviously in relevant areas. And stats wise, Portsmouth students that finish any technological degree have an employability rate of 93% in the first 6 months after graduating, one of the highest in the country. Portsmouth might not be as prestigious as Cambridge or Oxford, but when it comes to hands on, practical engineering, is one of the most appreciated by industry and of the best places to be.
Portsmouth is an amazing place to study Electronic Engineering because its modern approach to teaching, its labs, and all the great equipment it has, making it a very good learning environment for a future engineer. All you learn in lectures also comes with a practical task to do - what we call Project Based Learning - so you get relevant hands on experience in every field you study: digital and analogue electronics, microwave electronics, signal processing etc.
All this projects that you work on will give practical skills to put on your CV, and that is exactly what the companies want to see, that you've actually worked on something, and built projects on your own. I've already secured a job for myself, and have been through all the interviewing process and I can say that the companies were very impressed with all the practical things I have done at university and my hands on experience in all the different fields I've studied, and this definitely gave me an edge over the other applicants.
Portsmouth as a city is an amazing place for a young engineer as well, because there are a lot of big engineering companies that are based within Portsmouth. Companies like: IBM, BAE systems, Airbus, Rolls Royce, all have sites in the Portsmouth city area, and they always try to get students from Portsmouth on their postgraduate programs.
So putting it in short terms: Yes, an MSC at Portsmouth in Electrical Engineering will open up a lot of opportunities for you, and if you are committed and willing to do your best in your MSC year, there will definitely be a lot of companies that will want you as their employee.
