Electronic and Electrical Engineering BEng

Our three-year BEng Hons Electronic and Electrical Engineering degree starts with your general engineering first year and includes topics such as circuitry and instrumentation, heat transfer and manufacturing, which form a key requirement of modern electrical and electronic systems.

You’ll specialise in electronic and electrical engineering from Year 2, developing your core skills as an engineer and building your familiarity and practical experience in power engineering, analogue circuitry and digital systems. Working in our two new engineering buildings with state-of-the-art facilities, you’ll develop your creativity and technical skills as you design, build and test to solve real-world problems.

In your final year, you will work on a substantial project into a topic of your choice, often interdisciplinary in nature and linked with industry or one of our research groups. Previous examples of projects that you can work on include remote moisture sensing for internet of things; wearable antennas for medical body area network; low carbon shipping through improved electric propulsion; and energy storage and development of an electrical storm tracker.

Take further steps towards professional engineering with management skills, project management, and industry engagement. Sustainability, safety, ethics and quality management are kept in focus too.
