Summary

The BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree provides a solid foundation in the electrical engineering field, offering access to modern tools and a high-tech lab. You'll gain up-to-date skills in digital signal processing, VLSI design, robotics, neural networks, power systems, and advanced power conversion and control.

On this course, you’ll enhance your career prospects with opportunities to study abroad or complete a year-long industry placement. These experiences offer hands-on learning and boost your CV, making you a more competitive job candidate.

Why choose this course?

This electrical and electronical engineering qualification will help shape your career, providing you with essential skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience.

Outstanding placement opportunities offer invaluable hands-on experience: Students from the School of Engineering and Technology have previously completed work placement years at companies including: Airbus Space and Defence, Bosch Thermotechnology, and Microsoft.

Join recent graduates who have gone on to work for some of leading brands and companies: Recent electrical engineering graduates have gone on to work at organisations including Vodafone, Mitsubishi Electric and Stansted Airport.

 

Whilst on the electrical engineering course, you will study a range of topics similar to those of the more specialised courses but in a more flexible way, allowing you to choose a more personalised course of study. Many of our students have an interest in one or more of the specialised areas and wish to combine them, and this route allows you to do so.

In your first year, you’ll focus on the basic principles and practices needed in electronic engineering, and on developing relevant analytical, design and organisational abilities. You will learn about digital fundamentals, computing concepts and the problem-solving tools that you will need as the course progresses.

In your second year, you will explore in more depth the theories and techniques involved in product design and development, with particular emphasis on 'embedded' real-time microprocessor systems, programmable logic devices and power control. You will learn to apply practical skills to design, implement and test solutions relevant to electrical and electronic engineering.

In your final year, the focus is on understanding more about the specialist technologies that are at the heart of today's advanced communication systems. Mobile communication concepts and computer networks, the design of high-speed analogue and digital electronics using integrated circuits, and radio frequency circuits and systems are all examined, along with key microprocessor topics, fuzzy logic and neural networks and digital signal processing. You will also carry out an individual double-module project on a topic relevant to electrical and/or electronic engineering.

Final Year students benefit from the opportunity to study modules such as applications of electronics in areas like electrical and electronic power control, digital signal processing, micro-electronics, robotics and the option of telecommunication systems or micro-engineering and micro-technology. The aim is to allow you to keep your expertise broad if you wish, allowing you to specialise later.
