In the world of industry, advances are achieved by teams.

These teams have to be directed, organised and inspired by managers, who are often engineers of considerable talent and experience.

Teamwork and collaboration are essential when responding to design criteria, rigid timelines and unexpected issues. Those with excellent management skills will help to deliver the best solution within the timeframe. Engineers aim to anticipate and avoid problems that might arise in a wide range of industrial applications.

Our BEng Electronic Engineering with Business Management will equip you with a strong background in modern electronics, combined with specialised knowledge in the techniques of business and industrial management. You'll gain practical and team-based experience from your first year onwards, meaning you'll graduate with the skills necessary to begin your management career.

If you're aspiring to have a leading role in the engineering industry, this course is for you.

Accreditation

This course is fully accredited by the IET and counts towards the training requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.

Teaching and assessment

You’ll study and learn with academics who are active researchers, experts in their field and have a passion for their subjects. Our approach to teaching will provide you with the knowledge, opportunities, and support you need to grow and succeed in a global workplace.

Assessment and feedback

Your assignments will be designed not just to test you but for you to creatively apply what you've learnt, and to stretch you to supply novel solutions. We use a variety of assessment styles, including exams, coursework and practical engineering tasks. You'll encounter all of them during your course, but the exact balance will depend on the modules you choose:

• Closed-book exams
• Short technical reports
• Electronic portfolios, including programming exercises, video reports or blogs
• Presentations and demonstrations
• Major technical reports

You'll receive written feedback on work you hand in to help you understand your grade and develop your skills. For your final-year individual project you'll produce a written report, have a viva (a presentation and question/answer session) and also show your project on our demo day, which our external advisory board attend.

Careers and skills

Our Electronic Engineering with Business Management courses will prepare you for a role in engineering management, but also equips you with a high level of knowledge of electronic engineering. This means that you will have the knowledge and skills to enable you to work as a graduate engineer in the electronics industry, software programming and in many other areas of technology.

For those wishing to take different career paths, the transferable skills you'll develop are highly valuable. Mathematics, programming, team working and technical management are sought after in a huge range of sectors, from media to financial services.
