Electronic and Electrical Engineering FT

BEng (Hon) · 3 Years · Full-time · 09/2026 · UndergraduateClifton Campus

Course summary

We believe in putting theoretical knowledge to the practical test by giving you hands-on opportunities you need to really embed your skills. You’ll have opportunities to take part in our industry Grand Challenge, go on a work placement and learn how to develop creative and effective solutions for engineering problems – these all go towards developing you as rounded, work ready engineering graduate.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without electronic and electrical engineering. It covers everything from tiny integrated circuits in household items and mobile phones, to the large-scale utilities that power our homes. The industry is fast paced and rapidly changing with a focus on renewable and sustainable energy sources. An electronic and electrical degree from NTU can put
you at the forefront of this exciting technological revolution by providing the skills and knowledge needed to be a great engineer.

As well as building your fundamental engineering skills, the course considers both the sustainability and environmental issues that are becoming increasingly important. Plus, you’ll be doing it all for real in our rooftop renewable energy lab.

Recently students have worked on projects such as designing an energy harvester, reverse engineering everyday objects and using industry standard software packages to design integrated circuits.

With the focus firmly on problem-solving and live project work, we aim to give you three to four years of industry experience before you graduate. Who wouldn’t want that on their CV?

T Level

We will consider T Levels for entry to this course, either as stand-alone qualifications or in conjunction with other Level 3 qualifications, in accordance with the specified course tariff points.

A lower offer may be made based on a range of factors, including your background (such as where you live and the school or college you attended), your experiences and individual circumstances (you may have been in care, for example). This is called a contextual offer and we get data from UCAS to make these decisions. NTU offers a student experience like no other, and this approach helps us to find students who have the potential to succeed here, but may have faced barriers that can make it more difficult to access university.

We also consider equivalent qualifications and combinations. Please contact Nottingham Trent University Admissions team for further information.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

NTU makes contextual offers for this course to give everyone a fair chance to access their chosen degree.

Contextual offers are lower than our standard entry criteria or may be an unconditional offer for courses that require a portfolio. We also take individual circumstances into account when we receive results and may accept grades lower than our published criteria.

We use a range of data from UCAS to make our offers and more information on our approach is available at the link below.
