Course introductionElectrical engineers create and innovate technologies for power generation and processing. Their designs facilitate electrical energy distribution (including 'Smart Grid' solutions for renewables) and support diverse manufacturing sectors.Modern electrical engineering enables hybrid/electric vehicles across transportation sectors - from cars to aircraft.Our program equips you with specialized electrical expertise to contribute to a greener future. Through hands-on lab projects, working both independently and collaboratively, you'll develop critical problem-solving and design capabilities.Year four involves an industry placement. You may select from approved opportunities or arrange your own with a suitable company. During this year, you maintain full student status with university supervision.By integrating your technical, analytical, and numerical skills, you'll be prepared to develop engineering solutions that meet industry demands.All electrical engineering undergraduates begin with a shared curriculum, permitting specialization changes through semester three of year two. Options to include/exclude study abroad or industry years remain flexible after enrollment. By year three, you can focus on areas aligning with your career goals.MEng applicants receive contextual BEng offers - if MEng requirements aren't met but BEng standards are achieved, automatic BEng enrollment occurs.Program highlightsRanked7thin UK for Electrical Engineering (Guardian 2024) and8thin UK (Times 2024)IET-accreditedprogramHands-onlab training for career readinessTailorablecurriculum through diverse electivesEvaluation methodsCourse assignmentsThesis workWritten assessmentsCollaborative projectsLab examsPresentationsResearch workPractical testingCareer prospectsThis degree opens doors to opportunities in: software engineering, telecommunications (fiber/mobile), aerospace tech, automotive systems, and sustainable energy solutions.
