Course summary
Our mission is to create an inclusive, inspiring and enriching education expected of all Leicester undergraduates, to impart a basic understanding of electrical and electronic engineering, to develop skills through education and research and to directly impact how we live and socialise.Electrical and Electronic Engineering impacts all aspects of life, from transportation and communication to energy and healthcare. With today's global challenges, electrical engineers play a vital role in creating sustainable solutions through technology design, production and maintenance. This programme prepares aspiring engineers to shape the future through renewable energy, robotics, automotive, aerospace, telecoms, agriculture, manufacturing, and more.Initially, you will gain foundational engineering knowledge through a general first-year course. In the second year, you will deepen your technical skills. Then in year three, you can specialise in one of our specialist streams: (I) Hybrid/Electric Aviation, (II) E-Transportation and Sustainable Energy, or (III) the Internet of Things. Or you can pursue a broadly based BEng covering all three streams. Your final project lets you follow developing interests and career goals.You will gain expertise in programming, software, practical and design skills using industry-standard tools. You will also study leadership, ethics, and professional development. MEng students further independent learning through projects and a wide selection of modules that support their career aspirations.The BEng/MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme is delivered across three/four academic years of study, respectively, with an additional, optional, industrial placement year or study abroad year after the second year. The optional placement year/year abroad will provide you with the opportunity to gain valuable paid industrial or international experience in a professional environment. By exploring how electrical and electronic systems integrate and serve as indispensable building blocks for a wide range of products, solutions, processes, and business models, you will become a catalyst for change. As a highly sought-after professional, you will contribute to shaping a sustainable future and addressing global challenges like climate change, clean mobility, and an aging society.What's the difference?Each of our Engineering subjects is available in six forms:BEng (3 years), BEng with Industry (4 years), BEng with Year Abroad (4 years)MEng (4 years), MEng with Industry (5 years), MEng with Year Abroad (5 years)The MEng places greater emphasis on industrially related project work, advanced technical content and leadership, and automatically meets the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. The MEng shares its first three years with the corresponding BEng.
