BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering course has official recognition from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Its goal is to give students practical, technical, analytical, and hands-on skills, getting them ready for a fantastic job as an electrical and electronic engineer. The programme teaches many subjects, such as control systems that use microprocessors, the Internet of Things (IoT), how to change power, and storing energy in batteries, all with a focus on using electronics to solve real-world problems.

Students in this course work closely with staff members who are actively doing research and are part of strong research teams. The different parts of the course and the projects are based on the latest knowledge and new research done by staff, both in the country and around the world. Students can also choose to spend a year working in the industry, study in another country, or take an extended degree, all of which help them gain more experience and abilities.
