Electrical and electronic engineers are at the forefront of the challenges to connect our world, to design more efficient and affordable technology, to help us live healthily and sustainably.You’ll choose a route that fits your developing interests and career plans, with modules led by our research strengths, and projects and coursework drawn from our latest research, focused on inspiring and supporting tomorrow’s industry-ready, creative engineers.Electrical and Electronic Engineering students and Electronic and Information Engineering students share a common first year. Labs and problem-solving classes are designed to equip you with a solid theoretical base and practical hardware and software engineering skills. Year two follows a core programme tailored to your chosen route, completing the fundamentals in analogue and digital electronics, power electronics, communications and control, alongside a strong focus on mathematics and computing.In your third and final year, you’ll select from a number of more advanced technical modules, so you can choose to take a wide-ranging programme of study, or to concentrate your expertise in a particular field.You’ll apply your knowledge and skills to increasingly ambitious project work throughout the course, ultimately showcasing your imagination, originality and independent engineering expertise in a substantial final year project of your choice.
