Course summary

Would you like to learn the hands-on technical, analytical and practical skills required to prepare you for a career as an electrical and electronic engineer?
From mobile phones to missile defence systems and all digital electronics in between, electrical and electronic engineers play a crucial role in the development of anything that requires a plug or battery.

Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering course will provide you with all of the skills and knowledge required to pursue a career in this diverse industry.

Thanks to the recovering economy and advancements in technology, graduates are in high demand globally meaning there has never been a better time to enter the industry.

Extended Degree
This extended degree provides an alternative route to higher education and supports those who don’t meet the standard entry requirements for an undergraduate degree. It includes a foundation year where you will enhance your knowledge and skills of core mathematics as well as of core physics and electrical engineering principles.

What will I learn in my Foundation Year?
During your foundation year, you will develop fundamental research skills and independent learning skills through specialised and research-informed modules. You will build a broad range of mathematical and scientific competences addressing real-world problems and develop key employability skills that will prove invaluable when you enter the workplace.

Delivered in industry-leading facilities by our highly experienced team, you will be supported at every step to ensure an enjoyable experience that will enhance your learning and future employment prospects.

The foundation year of the course delivered at level 3 which develops your ability to study in Higher Education is not accredited. Subsequent levels and years are accredited and deliver the knowledge, competencies, and skills required to meet the specific course accreditation requirements that relate to the approved accredited award title.
