Electronic Engineering (with a year in industry) BEng (Hons)

Electronic engineering is transforming our world.

Electronic engineers are pushing boundaries in fields from computing to communication, from healthcare to environmental monitoring. Ever-increasing demands for innovation require graduates who are knowledgeable, highly skilled, professional and adept at communication and project management: graduates who are equipped to design the next generation of electronics.

This course will enable you to function with confidence in the challenging world of electronics, as a designer, a researcher or as a manager. You'll start with fundamental principles of electronic engineering, and learn more advanced concepts, later choosing from a range of specialist option modules.

Our courses are very flexible and offer you the opportunity to either become a specialist or generalist by choosing your own route through your degree. You'll be fully always supported by staff who are enthusiastic about their subjects and willing to help you.
