Electronics and Communication Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Modules

This course has a common first year.The common first year enables you to work alongside students doing similar courses to you, to widen your knowledge and exposure to other subject areas and professions. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other students, so you can share your insights and experience which will help you to develop and learn.If you discover an interest in a specific subject you have studied, upon successful completion of your first year, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first year (subject to meeting progression requirements).Common first year courses:Electrical and Electronic Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)Computer Systems Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)Year One ModulesEngineering MathematicsElectrical and Electronic Engineering PrinciplesEngineering DesignAnalogue and Digital DevicesElectronic Systems in ActionIntroduction to ProgrammingYear TwoYear two builds on Year one learning and introduces new curriculum material. You will be introduced to signal and systems module, which will prepare you for more advanced signal processing technique on the following year. Communication and networking module will introduce the technologies and protocols used in modern communication system. More advanced electronics and system design topics will be covered in the electronic modules. This will include electronic system design, manufacturing, and testing.ModulesAnalogue and Digital SystemsObject Oriented ProgrammingSignals and System AnalysisEmbedded System Design & DevelopmentManufacture of Electronic SystemsCommunication and NetworkingPlacement YearThere’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement* can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future.If you choose to do a work placement year, you will pay a reduced tuition fee* of £1,250. For more information, please go to the fees and funding section. During this time you will receive guidance from your employer or partner institution, along with your assigned academic mentor who will ensure you have the support you need to complete your placement.Final YearAs part of your year three studies, you will undertake an individual project, which will entail undertaking research and design studies with the guidance of a supervisor to provide a set of engineering solutions. Other modules will cover digital communications fundamentals, high-speed communications signal processing techniques and you will have an option to choose between high frequency electronics and VLSI design module.ModulesDigital Signal Processing and ApplicationsCommunication Engineering Individual Project PreparationIndividual Project RealisationHigh Speed communicationOptional modules (choose one from the following):High Frequency ElectronicsVLSI DesignAdditional YearIf you meet the criteria, you could choose to take an additional fourth year master’s option, which will deepen your knowledge and expertise.We regularly review our course content, to make it relevant and current for the benefit of our students.
