Course summary
From the tiny processors in smartphones to the heavy-duty power electronics in wind turbines, electronic and electrical systems underpin many modern technologies. Electronics is the study of circuits and devices that carry relatively small currents and voltages. It concerns the sensing, transduction and processing of data signals, in either digital or analogue forms. Electrical engineering concerns much larger currents and voltages, usually for the purpose of generating and transmitting electrical power. In an Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) degree, you will study both areas, with the opportunity to specialise in later years. We deliver this content across several themes: electrical power digital electronics analogue electronics microelectronics electromagnetics and photonics bioelectronics sensor networks and data analysis
Programme aimsStudying this field requires a clear understanding of physics and the broader system it operates in. This programme balances theoretical studies, computation and simulation with practical experimentation. You will learn to work independently and collaboratively to find clever solutions to modern engineering problems.
Ties to industryOur Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from important electronics and electrical engineering companies. This has influenced our curriculum and programme development.
Why Edinburgh?You’ll benefit from research-led teaching by internationally leading academics.We have strong links to industry (particularly in microelectronics) with excellent career prospects, industry relevant curriculum, internships, opportunity of final year project placement.You’ll benefit from a balanced curriculum covering theoretical and practical skills and individual and group work.You will have access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities including: industry standard software & hardware in-person and remote labsAll our degree programmes are accredited by Institution of Engineering & Technology. This degree gives you the flexibility to study specialist courses in areas you are most interested in.
Our communityWe are proud of the supportive community that our students and academics create. For example, the electronics and electrical engineering discipline supports an 'Electronics After Hours Club'. This allows you to develop your own extra-curricular projects in a supportive environment. Edinburgh has a particularly active community and network of companies in fields related to electronics and electrical engineering, which are deliberately located here, close to the talent of our graduates.
