Course summary

Do you want to work at the forefront of innovation and drive the technologies that keep society running?

If the answer is yes, Electronic and Electrical Engineering is for you. Creative talent is needed to ensure the systems operating in this crucial industry are maintained in an ethical and sustainable manner. You’ll receive guidance from engineers with industry experience in state-of-the-art facilities. Your studies can be tailored to your personal interests to help shape the career pathway you desire in this fast-moving sector.

Our foundation degree is designed for students who have the capability to pursue a degree at Huddersfield but do not yet have the required qualifications. The foundation element lasts one year to bring you up-to-speed. If you pass, you’ll progress onto our IET-accredited BEng(Hons) degree. Once on the full course you’ll enjoy the same benefits as our other students. These include our Common First Year, allowing you to experience all aspects of engineering before specialising in your chosen field.

Why choose Huddersfield for this course?
