Aerospace Electronic Engineering, BEng (Hons)

This three-year BEng in Aerospace Electronic Engineering equips students with essential theoretical and practical skills for modern aerospace systems, focusing on electronics for aircraft and spacecraft. Key topics include electronic circuits, flight mechanics, radar applications, guidance and control, space systems, digital systems, programming, and mathematics. Students will design and build a bespoke aerospace electronic system in their final year, collaborating with leading researchers to innovate solutions. The programme benefits from Southampton's top-five UK ranking in electrical and electronic engineering, supported by £8 million in facilities investments, strong industry ties, and career resources like annual fairs and startup incubators. Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, it prepares graduates for diverse roles.The degree allows flexibility, with core modules in the first two years covering foundational areas, followed by optional modules in the third year that align with industry demands. Students undertake an individual research project, while assessments encompass exams, tests, design exercises, programming tasks, presentations, labs, and group work, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of skills.

This three-year BEng programme has been designed to maximise student choice by allowing you to tailor the degree structure to suit your own interests. During the first two years you will undertake a series of core modules, for example electronic circuits and systems, flight mechanics and aerospace systems, radar techniques and applications, digital systems and microprocessors, programming and computer engineering, devices and solid state electronics and mathematics. In your third year you can choose from a wide range of optional modules that reflect the specialist areas of electronic engineering that will take you to the leading edge of technology sought by industry. You will also work on an individual project with one of our research groups which will allow you to work at the frontier of knowledge.
