Course introductionElectrical engineers create and innovate technologies for power generation and processing. They develop equipment that distributes electrical energy (including 'Smart Grid' solutions for renewable sources) and supports various manufacturing sectors.Modern electrical engineering enables hybrid and electric transportation across vehicles, trains, ships, and aircraft.Our program provides specialized electrical expertise to help shape a sustainable future. Through hands-on lab projects, working both independently and collaboratively, you'll develop crucial problem-solving and design capabilities.Your third year will be spent gaining industry experience. You can select from approved placements or arrange your own with a suitable company. While on placement, you'll maintain full university registration with tutor support.By integrating your numerical, analytical, and technical knowledge, you'll be equipped to develop engineering solutions that meet industry demands.All electrical and electronic engineering undergraduates begin with a shared curriculum, with flexibility to switch specializations until the end of second year. Options to include or remove study abroad and industry placement years remain available after enrollment. By third year, you can focus on areas aligning with your career goals.Career opportunitiesThis degree opens diverse career paths in fields including: software engineering, telecommunications (fiber optics and mobile networks), aerospace technology, automotive systems, and sustainable energy solutions.
