Course summary
From electric vehicles to Raspberry Pi®, ultrasound machines to manufacturing robots, and washing machines to wind farms, electrical and electronic engineering enhances our lives enormously every single day. The University of Bolton's IET-accredited BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree aims to educate the engineers who will lead the next phase of the digital revolution. Advances in electrical and electronic engineering underpin the digital revolution that started in the 1950s and continues to the present day. By studying for your BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Bolton, you can prepare for a career in this world-changing industry while experiencing life at our supportive, student-focused, multicultural campus. We offer 'real world' engineering knowledge and skills developed through a combination of theory and practical applications taught in a vibrant and supportive environment. This includes our range of highly specialised modules covering areas such as electromagnetism, embedded systems, digital signal processing, power electronics and renewable energy systems. Your professional development and training are encouraged through hands-on projects, live briefs, industrial visits and work placement opportunities. We also aim to help you develop lifelong learning skills so that you can take ownership of your professional development for the future, maximising your potential for success. You can learn about cutting-edge and emerging technologies, such as Smart Grids, that are transforming global electricity delivery systems. We also emphasise the application of electronic systems that can be embedded in other products that are not necessarily electronic, such as cars, medical devices and industrial systems. In this way, we aim to prepare you for careers in growth areas of the industry.
