​​This degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering combines theory with practical learning experiences to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career in the dynamic field of electrical and electronic engineering.

From day one, you will work in cutting-edge facilities that feature electronic circuits measurement analysers, virtual instrumentation kits, PCB prototyping printers, circuit design and simulation tools, internet of things and electrical machines and drives.

In the first year, the course content covers engineering mathematics, programming principles, analog and digital electronics and mechatronics. It also ventures into more specialised areas like control systems, signals and systems, as well as electromagnetics and physical computing, shaping well-rounded professionals who are adept at both theory and practice.

As you progress through the course you will dive deeper into areas such as digital signal processing, power electronics and systems and electrical machines and drives. The curriculum in the final years of the degree also allows students to undertake practical projects, providing critical hands-on experience that is vital in todays industry. Students will have the opportunity to tailor their learning through elective modules both in electrical and electronic engineering, thereby aligning their education with their personal interests and career goals. The degree ensures that graduates are well-equipped to meet industry demands, contribute to advancements in the field, and drive innovation in electrical and electronic engineering.​
This degree can be studied as a three-year full-time degree or a four-year degree that includes a year of foundational study. Our foundation year is intended to prepare you for your subsequent years of studying, offering you the chance to strengthen your skills, knowledge and confidence.

The foundation year will be relevant to:

1. Students who have not achieved the required A-level points (or equivalent) score to enter the first year of the degree programme.
2. Mature students who have been out of the formal education system for some time.

Employability & Careers

Our modern society heavily relies on technology, with the digital revolution significantly influencing various sectors. This has led to the rapid expansion of smart and interconnected devices in healthcare, agriculture, space, automation, telecommunications, and the energy sector, particularly focusing on renewable energy. These advancements have led to substantial disruptions and changes, with engineers being the driving force behind these transformations. As a result, careers in engineering offer a wide range of rewarding opportunities.

In the United Kingdom, the engineering profession is overseen by professional institutions acting on behalf of the Engineering Council. These institutions establish the standards for education, training, and experience required to become registered as an Incorporated Engineer or a Chartered Engineer. These standards align with internationally recognised qualifications, ensuring that engineering professionals gain global recognition within the industry.
