Electronic Engineering and AI

The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is reshaping every aspect of modern human life. Our BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering and AI degree will help you develop the skills to design intelligent systems, solve real problems, and create innovations that impact industries from healthcare and finance to robotics and technology.

From your first year, you’ll develop practical skills in coding, computational thinking and system design. As you progress, you’ll explore more advanced topics such as machine learning, neural networks and intelligent algorithms, with a focus on how these can be embedded into hardware to create innovative, real-world applications.

You’ll gain hands-on experience through laboratory work, design projects and opportunities to engage with research and industry. There’s also the option to study abroad or take a placement year, helping you build the skills, confidence and global outlook to succeed in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

When you finish, you’ll have a unique mix of engineering expertise and AI knowledge that employers are actively seeking – preparing you to make an impact in the future of intelligent systems.
