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

In an era of smart devices and the global push for sustainable energy, this course offers in-depth knowledge of computing systems and software essential for technological advancement. Learning occurs through individual and group lab work, covering topics such as analogue and digital electronics, circuits, systems, computing, communications, and electrical energy applications. The programme features a third-year industry placement, where students can apply for available positions or arrange their own, while remaining enrolled with the university and receiving tutor support. All electrical and electronic courses share content in the first two years, allowing specialisation in year three.In year one, students follow a common curriculum including engineering mathematics, power and energy, and information systems. Year two focuses on developing design skills via lab-based subjects. The final year involves an individual project exploring cutting-edge technologies, often linked to departmental research, preparing graduates for careers as Incorporated or Chartered Engineers in industry or beyond.
