Course summary

Prepare for a successful career in the engineering sector that drives innovation, empower everything from sustainable energy solutions to cutting-edge technology, shaping a smarter and more connected world. Electronic and electrical engineers are at the forefront of the challenge to connect our world: from designing and building more efficient and affordable technology, to providing a more robust and green energy network, helping us live better, healthier, smarter and more sustainably. With an emphasis on Industry 4.0 concepts, you'll learn the latest developments and techniques in a variety of cutting-edge areas of engineering, such as Digital Signal Processing (DSP), robotics, AI, internet of things (IoT), power electronics and sustainable technologies, so you'll graduate well-prepared to enter the workplace. You’ll study in our state-of-the-art electronics and microelectronics labs using software including Xilinx ISE, Multisim, LabVIEW, Ansys, Matlab, SPICE and VHDL-AMS and carry out four phases of an engineering project: design, analyse, build and test. Through this project-based, hands-on approach, you’ll develop the technical skills and associated knowledge you'll need to work in the engineering sector, with an emphasis on embedded systems and remotely controlled wireless systems. You’ll also learn about broader factors that all engineers have to consider, including the economic, social and environmental impact of your work from a diverse breadth of expert staff with a wide range of industrial and academic backgrounds. We also work with employers to make sure you graduate with the knowledge, skills and abilities they need. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it – and they offer hands-on, practical opportunities to learn through work-based projects and internships. You’ll be thoroughly prepared to make a real difference to the world in a career at the forefront of innovation.
