Course summary

This is a five-year programme that includes a year of foundational study and leads directly into the integrated Masters of Engineering degree course. Our foundation year offers the chance to strengthen your skills, knowledge and confidence, before you advance to stage one of your honours degree. 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 today’s 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. We offer this programme with two study options. You can choose five years full-time or six years full-time which would include a one-year professional placement before your final year that will give you hands-on experience in a real-life working environment. This year in industry would give you the practical skills that many employers seek, giving you a competitive edge upon graduation.
