Electrical and Electronic Engineering, BEng (Hons), with industry placement

Electrical and electronic engineers design, develop, test, and manage innovative technologies, including power systems, drones, electric vehicles, smartphones, navigation devices, and hospital systems. This course equips students with specialised knowledge and skills to contribute to a sustainable future, fostering problem-solving through individual and team-based lab projects that integrate numerical, analytical, and technical expertise.The programme features a common curriculum in the first two years, allowing specialisation in year three, which includes an industry placement. Students remain enrolled with the university and receive tutor support during this period. In the final year, advanced technologies are studied alongside an individual research project. Graduates can pursue registration as Incorporated or Chartered Engineers, opening doors to careers in industry or other fields. This equips individuals with essential engineering expertise for diverse professional opportunities.

In your first year, you will gain an understanding of the principles and practices on which all specialisms within electrical and electronic engineering are founded. Practical and fault-finding skills are developed through laboratory and project work. In your second year, you will continue to improve your understanding of electrical and electronic engineering, and your design skills will be developed through a variety of laboratory-based subjects. The industrial placement is completed in your third year. In your final year you will study state-of-the-art technologies and you will undertake an individual research project.
