Course summary

If you're returning to education, or didn't study Maths at A level, our foundation year will update the maths and physics knowledge you need to transfer onto one of our Electronics or Engineering degree courses. You'll spend your first year learning maths and physics content to A level standard, and you'll begin to develop your practical skills in the electronics lab. If you successfully complete the foundation year you'll automatically continue onto the first year of our BEng Electronic Engineering course or one of our other specialist BEng courses. In addition, if you achieve a high score in the Foundation Year exams you will have the opportunity to transfer onto one of our MEng courses. This course will enable you to function with confidence in the challenging world of electronic engineering, as a designer, in research or as a manager. You'll work with world-class researchers who are advancing our understanding of electronic engineering every day. Our courses are very flexible, and offer you the opportunity to either become a specialist or generalist. You can choose your own route through your degree. You'll be fully supported at all times by staff who are enthusiastic about their subjects and willing to help you. All of our courses are available with a year in industry, which gives you the opportunity to gain vital experience in the workplace and find out more about your career options. The year in industry is generally taken in the year prior to your final year of study. The School will help you to find a suitable placement. You will be fully supported by an academic member of staff who will visit you in the workplace and meet you regularly to discuss your placement work.
