Electrical and Electronic Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Electrical and electronic engineers design, develop, test, and manage innovative technologies for power generation, processing, and applications ranging from drones and electric vehicles to smartphones, navigation systems, and hospital equipment.This accredited course prepares graduates for industry roles by building practical, professional, and transferable skills, ensuring a competitive advantage in employment. Taught by experts at the forefront of cutting-edge research with international collaborations, the program includes options for a one-year paid industrial placement or study abroad. Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology under the Engineering Council, it meets UK standards for professional competence, supporting pathways to Incorporated or Chartered Engineer status.In the first two years, all electrical and electronic courses share core content, allowing specialization in the third year through diverse modules. Students enhance their electronic engineering knowledge and design skills via laboratory work, with options to focus on specific technologies. The curriculum involves lectures, group studies, tutorials, coursework, and self-study, potentially exceeding 40 hours weekly.

All our electrical and electronic courses have the same content in year one and two so by year three, you can choose the topics that interest you. In your second year, you will continue to improve your understanding of electronic engineering, and your design skills will be developed through a variety of laboratory-based subjects. In your third year, you can choose from a range of specialist topics to follow a wide path, or focus on specific technologies. Through lectures, group study and tutorials combined with coursework and self-study, you may spend over 40 hours a week on your studies.
