Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with Foundation Year)

Accredited by the Engineering Council and Institution of Engineering and Technology, our Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree lets you explore and address society’s current challenges.

Study smart power, process control and remote sensing in our up-to-the-minute facilities, including robotics labs and our FabLab with 3D printers, laser scanners and cutters, and CNC machines.

Outside of studying, you can join our Hull Electric Racing Team (HERT). You’ll work as a group to build and test a racing car, enjoying exclusive access to our F1 simulator. And when you’re ready to race, you’ll compete against other teams at Silverstone.

The Foundation Year is an extra year of study at the start of your degree. It’s designed to boost your academic skills and knowledge of your specialist area. When you successfully complete it, you can transfer seamlessly into the full degree programme.

Like all our Engineering courses, Electrical and Electronic Engineering shares a common first year, which means you can choose to switch to a different pathway in your second year. It also offers a four-year Integrated Masters (MEng) option. This lets you study a year at postgraduate level on top of your degree.

Why study at Hull?

• Train using industry-standard facilities: From our F1 racing simulator to our robotics labs, our facilities will give you a competitive edge when it comes to showcasing your skills and experience to employers.

• 100% employability: A perfect 100% of our graduates are in work or further study 15 months after graduating,¹ putting the hands-on experience they gained here to good use.

• Direct route to Chartered Engineer: Our accredited degree puts you on the pathway to Chartered Engineer status.

Where could this take me?

Electronic and electrical systems are always evolving, but the skills you’ll learn on this degree will set you up to keep pace, whatever your chosen career.

Talented engineers are in high demand. Our graduates have chosen to work in product design, development and manufacturing, as technical advisors to marketing teams, in patent offices, and as professional Chartered Engineers. The choice is yours.
