Electronic and Electrical Engineering BEng(Hons)

Electronic and electrical engineering is behind the technologies that have driven the global economy for decades and society needs electronic and electrical engineers of the future to be innovative and adventurous. This course provides you with the skills to convert theory into practice so that you could become an innovator of the future. Electronic and electrical engineering doesn't just lead to a career, it's a gateway to improved prospects, increased earning potential, and the ability to shape your own path in this crucial industry.

The systems created by this vital industry keep society running and creative talent is needed to ensure these systems are maintained in an ethical and sustainable manner. You’ll be taught by academics who are also professional engineers, many of whom have years of industry and research experience. We cover the generation, distribution, application and control of electrical energy.

Our aim is to provide you the knowledge and skills to succeed in this fast-paced sector, the top five job titles advertised in the UK for graduate roles associated with Electronic and Electrical Engineering are Electrical Engineer, Electrical Maintenance Engineer, Electrical Design Engineer, Electronic Engineer and Field Service Engineer*. We'll explore the principal aspects of electronic and electrical engineering, investigating areas such as, sustainable power generation, integrated electronic and electrical systems and performance and electronic control of electric machines. Our Common First Year lets you explore key areas of Electronic and Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering, giving you the chance to “taste” different specialisms before you decide.

You will work in multi-disciplinary teams and build a solid foundation aligned with industry needs, whichever path you choose next.
