Course Overview

What you will study

Years one and two provide essential knowledge and skills to prepare you for the final years of the electrical engineering course. Areas of study include analog and digital electronics, embedded systems, mathematics, power, machines and control, and signals and digital communications.

Lectures are strengthened by hands-on laboratory assignments, which use a range of modern software tools with practical hardware systems. This allows you to realise the theory in a practical way. Group and project work throughout the course will reinforce teamwork and develop transferable skills.

In your final year, you will cover electronics design, control system design, power electronics and drives, telecommunications and embedded systems design. You'll also undertake a major practical project.

Teaching

You can study the BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree as a three-year, full-time course or over four years to include a sandwich work placement.

This engineering programme is taught through lectures, which are supported by tutorials, practical sessions and seminar groups. Wherever possible, your work will be based on live projects and case studies, with contributions from industry professionals.

Throughout your electrical engineering training, you will engage in activities that help you become self-reliant, self-motivated and resourceful, as well as develop leadership qualities and management expertise.
