Brunel University London's BEng Electronic and Electrical Engineering degree is a modern course that teaches students how to design electronic and electrical systems. This program focuses on giving students the skills needed to work in electronic and electrical engineering, with specialisations in areas like sustainable electrical energy systems, embedded systems, or digital communication systems. 

Students learn in modern labs with industry-standard software, and the program has great career prospects, ranking in the top three in London for career success after 15 months, according to the Guardian University Guide 2024. The course is usually 3 years, though some courses may also offer a 4-year option with a placement year.
