Course summary

Electrical and electronic engineers design, develop, test and oversee a vast array of technologies that underpin modern life. This course will give you the skills to design, create and utilise a broad range of technologies that are central to modern industrial, commercial and communications fields.

Subjects range from the traditional and renewable systems used to generate, process and apply power, to the hardware systems of satellites, drones, electric cars and robotics. This course also covers the underpinning software and electronics used in smartphones, computers, AI systems and healthcare technologies.

Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), this course delivers strong graduate outcomes and competitive starting salaries.

Our course provides the professional expertise you need for a successful career in engineering or in a variety of other professions. Through a combination of lecture material and extensive lab-based projects, working individually and in small teams, you will build the numerical, analytical and technical knowledge and skills to meet the engineering challenges of the future.

All undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering initially follow a common programme of study, learning the fundamental skills of this discipline. As you progress through the course, the core content and practical projects will focus towards your area of specialisation.

You'll spend year three in industry, gaining valuable experience and enhancing your skills. This industrial year boosts your employability and professional development, with regular support from the university. This course offers significant flexibility to transfer to any other EEE strand after joining, where this is possible.

English language requirements

TestGradeAdditional details
IELTS (Academic)6(no less than 5.5 in any element) As well as IELTS, we also accept other English language qualifications. This includes TOEFL iBT, Pearson PTE, GCSE, IB and O level English. Check our English language policies and equivalencies for further details. If you need support to meet the required level, you may be able to attend a Presessional English for Academic Purposes (PEAP) course. Our Centre for English Language Education is accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English in the UK.   If you successfully complete your pre-sessional course to the required level, you can then progress to your degree course. This means that you won't need to retake IELTS or equivalent.  Please note: For pre-sessional English or one-year foundation courses, you must take IELTS for UKVI to meet visa regulations.

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.

We make contextual offers to students who may have experienced barriers that have restricted progress at school or college. Our standard contextual offer is usually one grade lower than the advertised entry requirements, and our enhanced contextual offer is usually two grades lower than the advertised entry requirements. To qualify for a contextual offer, you must have Home/UK fee status and meet specific criteria.
