Gain the up-to-date knowledge and skills required of modern electrical and electronic engineers, with an emphasis on hands-on learning.
Become a professional electrical and electronic engineer from day one.
Expand your specialist knowledge in state-of-the-art labs and workshops.
Enhance your skills through real-life projects and work placements.
Learn to design and manage electrical systems for a sustainable future.

From smartphones and smart buildings to electric cars and renewable energy, the world we live in today is profoundly dependent on the talents of electronic and electrical engineers. Creating, designing and managing the systems that keep things running is vital in our society – from the generation of heat, light and power to the ease and speed of communication that we’ve come to expect.

Live projects

We emphasise learning through practical investigations and problem-solving, where you explore the issues that are typical of complex engineering systems through real world case studies. You complete a major project, supported by a project tutor, in an area of your choice allowing you to focus on a topic that can contribute to your career aims

All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive.

You study key technical areas, including digital electronics, electrical energy systems, communication media and System on Chip (SoC) design. You will have the option of selecting from a wide range of specialist modules in areas including Robotics, Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). In addition, management modules are also available to develop your project and managerial ability and maximise your employment and career potential.

As well as improving your technical skills and knowledge, we also focus on building wider professional skills, such as planning, research techniques and promoting innovation.

You learn through

• a major project
• laboratory classes
• report writing

This course is delivered face-to-face over three semesters - teaching is scheduled based on the length of your course and the academic calendar.
