Covering the latest practices and theories of engineering, our BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering offers essential knowledge and skills for entry into this global profession.
The technology sector's rapid growth has seen an increased demand for creative, skilled engineers nationally and internationally. Many global electronics organisations maintain research and development facilities within the UK and Europe. Engineers based in the UK can also be posted overseas to work on projects.
As a graduate of this degree programme, you'll possess the engineering-related knowledge and practical skills needed for a professional career in engineering.
Throughout the course, we'll help you build lifelong learning skills so that you can reflect on, articulate, and transfer your skills to everyday life, maximising your success. You will also be able to choose from several optional modules in your final year, including renewable energies and advanced embedded systems.
Where changes are made to material information contained in this course description or a decision is taken to suspend a course between the offer of admissions and enrolment, we will inform applicants at the earliest possible opportunity and will outline the various options available to the applicant.
Electrical and electronic engineers design, build and maintain electrical control systems, electrical systems for renewable energies, electric vehicles, and industrial machinery and equipment. The rapid expansion of the technology sector over the last few decades has created a demand for those who can develop, understand and alter electrical control systems.
In addition to technical knowledge, this degree offers the opportunity to develop a range of essential employability skills that are highly transferrable to a wide range of areas beyond engineering, such as IT, finance and management. These skills include the ability to use specialist knowledge creatively and innovatively to solve problems, produce and interpret technical solutions, explain design ideas, effective communication (spoken and written), good team working skills, project and time management, and strong decision-making skills.
As a graduate of this BEng degree, you'll have the knowledge and skills needed to define your pathway to a rewarding career in electronic engineering and be qualified to pursue exciting opportunities in research and development if you wish.
Industries such as electronics, IT, manufacturing, power, transport, construction, and building services employ electrical and electronic engineers. Opportunities also exist in telecommunications, research and development, and petrochemicals. With experience, you could specialise in project management, research and development or consultancy work. You could also move into senior roles in operation management or at the technical director level.
Typical employers include local authorities, the armed forces, manufacturers in all industries, power and water companies, renewable energy firms, and building services contractors. Global opportunities also exist for those willing to travel.
Another possible course of action for graduates is to pursue further study in a specialist field or research. Courses include MSc or PhD degrees in areas such as internet engineering, nanotechnology, wireless and optical communications, and telecommunications.
Graduates can use this qualification as a stepping stone into a range of other careers. Some of these roles may require relevant experience and/or postgraduate study. Some possibilities include the following:

We use various teaching, learning and assessment methods to help you achieve your potential. Timetabled sessions, such as lectures, seminars and tutorials, offer you knowledge of the concepts and principles essential in engineering. We expect you to build on these in your own time through extra reading, revision and reflection on what you have learned. Open-ended projects and design, make and test activities allow you to apply the principles you've learned, bringing the concepts and practical applications together in your mind.
Regarding assessment, you can expect project or design reports, examinations, portfolios, presentations, and blogs. Some assessments will contribute to your final module mark and allow you to demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes. In contrast, others are designed to help you identify areas that need extra attention on your part or where you need additional support from your tutors.
This programme adopts a blended learning and teaching style, including online delivery and engagement where appropriate.
The modules listed below may be a mixture of compulsory and optional. You may not have the opportunity to study all the modules shown as part of the course.
