Course summary

Electrical and electronic engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines and uses cutting-edge technology to address some of the major concerns of the modern world. There is a growing demand for skilled graduates to work in industries such as consumer electronics, alternative energy and transport, medical engineering, and communications.

Years one and two provide a strong grounding in mathematics, computing, analogue and digital electronics, communications, electromagnetics, electronic systems, and control. In the third and fourth years, you will benefit from units which are informed by the latest technological developments and underpinned by research-informed teaching.

Year three includes a group design project, and in the fourth year, you will undertake an individual research project.

The first two years are common with the BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering and transfer between courses is possible until the end of year two, subject to satisfactory performance.

Through our close collaboration with industry, you will benefit from excellent employment prospects. Recent graduate employers include Intel, BBC, Dyson, Jaguar Land Rover, Siemens, Hewlett-Packard, EDF Energy and many others.

This programme is currently under review for accreditation by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council. The outcome is pending.
