Course summary
Our BEng in Electronic Engineering opens the door to a rewarding career at the forefront of global technological innovation. Our programme offers a rigorous foundation in core principles, including foundational and advanced electronics, mathematics and design thinking, combined with extensive hands-on experimentation and project work. Our integrated approach empowers you to apply your knowledge in practical, impactful and innovative ways, preparing you to lead in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
Our course focuses on four key areas in electronics: circuits and systems, signal processing, computing and communication. You will develop in-depth knowledge of and practical expertise in circuit analysis and design, communication systems, computation and programming, and hardware design. This hands-on experience enables you to develop not only advanced technical expertise, but also the creativity, problem-solving ability and interdisciplinary insight essential for driving innovation in today’s world.
You can also choose to study on the integrated Master’s (MEng), adding a fourth year to your degree during which you’ll undertake substantial group research and a design project, integrating advanced knowledge from four years of study. The MEng is the main qualification pathway for students who make an early decision to train as engineers.
Accreditation
The programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. The integrated master’s programme – the MEng – fully meets the requirements.
