Electrical and Electronic Engineering

This highly technical three-year BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree will enable you to gain strong theoretical and practical skills in electrical and electronic engineering. This programme has been specifically designed to allow you to develop the knowledge and application required for a wide range of high quality professional engineering careers in business, engineering, research and development, and industry. During your third year you will get the opportunity to design, simulate, build or test an electrical or electronic system as part of your individual project and will collaborate with an academic working at the cutting edge of research.

We have an unrivalled reputation for our facilities, and have recently invested £8m in our teaching labs. We also have a £100m state-of-the-art interdisciplinary clean room complex and high-voltage laboratory.

You’ll be prepared by renowned teaching staff to work in a wide variety of areas and fields; we have strong relationships with employers, and our graduates are in demand for their understanding of organisations and their practical abilities in the workplace. You’ll benefit from our own Careers Hub who run an annual careers fair and our dedicated startup incubator, Future Worlds, supporting student enterprise.

Our BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering degrees are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and we are members of the UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UK-ESF) and IET Power Academy.

This three-year BEng programme will enable you to pursue a career in any area of the electrical and electronic engineering industry. It 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 Circuits, Electronic Systems and devices; Programming; Digital Systems; Mathematics. In your third year you can choose from a wide range of optional modules that reflect the specialist areas of electrical engineering that will take you to the leading edge of technology sought by industry.
