Do you have the ambition to develop the electrical power systems and renewable energies of tomorrow? Whether focused on embedded microcontrollers, power converters, or high frequency communications, you’ll be developing your understanding of the high-level aspects of electronics on the BEng course. Electrical and electronic engineering, accredited by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), will provide you with a solid foundation for engineering a wide range of electrical systems.
Key features:- From the day you join us until the day you graduate you’ll be testing and applying everything you learn in our fantastic labs.- Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.- Ranked 14th overall in the country for electrical engineering (Guardian league tables 2020).- Develop highly practical skills and learn through doing. - Students in engineering, science and the arts have access to a range of specialist equipment and innovative laboratories in our new engineering and design facility. - Draw on our strong industry links and benefit from industry participation in course development, delivery and project sponsorship.- Take advantage of our flexible course, allowing you to switch between electronics and robotics until your final year, as your interests develop. - Benefit from free IET membership (while at University) as the University is an IET Academic Partner.- Take part in our final year student project open day, showcasing the excellence of the engineering skills development and the high levels of achievement of our undergraduates, with many industrially sponsored prizes awarded.- Balance laboratory sessions with hands-on practical experiences throughout the course. - Develop your skills, with opportunities throughout your degree to build and program embedded systems, advanced mobile communications devices, and solar power systems.- Hone your expertise in your final year project, offering you a chance to design and develop an original system or device on the theme of your choice.- Demonstrate your abilities to future employers with your final year project. Many of our graduates quote this aspect as having helped them get a good job.- Access one of the largest undergraduate laboratory spaces in the country, which you can use to further your own understanding of communications, electronics and renewable energy technologies. - Receive electronic tools for studying.- Transfer to MEng is possible after the first or second year following the demonstration of an excellent overall achievement. - Study a broad range of topics from electrical and electronics, power, communications and microprocessors before choosing your final year project to gain expertise and experience in a specialist area.- To complement your formal learning we offer regular PALS sessions that provide the opportunity for you to learn with and from your peers.
