In today’s digital world electronics plays an essential role. Do you want to pursue your career at the forefront of this key industry? Our BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering course will prepare you with a range of skills and knowledge, helping you to become rounded electronic engineer ready for the world of work.

Throughout your degree study, you’ll have access to our state-of-the-art expertise and resources, plus you’ll have the opportunity to secure yourself an industry placement, putting you at a competitive advantage point.

What's covered in this course?

The Electronic Engineering course will equip you with necessary skills underpinned by a sound theoretical underpinning of the science and mathematics associated with the discipline. In addition, the course will give you a good understanding of the social, commercial, legal, ethical, economic and environmental factors associated with engineering. You will also develop the key transferrable skills that modern employers require, such as requirements analysis and system design, problem solving, project planning, presentation and communication. Our competitions, such as the annual Engineering Show, which includes the international micro-mouse competition, gives you the opportunity to participate in a range of competitions centred on autonomous and nonautonomous robotic vehicles.

Our engineering courses focus on project-based activities, giving you lots of opportunity to work in teams on projects from design to implementation. This will give you practical experience of applying engineering science to real world problems, working in multidisciplinary teams to develop your interpersonal skills, and prepare you for a key aspect of modern engineering practice.

You’ll also have the option of a placement during your course, either through a summer internship or year-long professional placement, which will provide you with the real-life skills and experience you will need to stand out from the crowd upon graduation. This has helped former graduates progress into roles within companies such as UTC Aerospace and Vector GB.

On completion of this course, you will be able to analyse, synthesise and evaluate those engineering factors that are required to produce electronic engineering solutions.

Progression to MEng Mechanical Engineering

This course offers the option to progress to the MEng Mechanical Engineering. This allows you to undertake an additional year of study at postgraduate level, following successful completion of your BEng course. If you choose to progress to an MEng, you will be able to apply to transfer during your third year of study.
