Course introduction
Electronic engineers create, refine, test, and supervise the development of diverse technologies ranging from drones and electric vehicles to smartphone components, navigation systems, and medical equipment.
Our program provides multiple pathways to deepen your electronics knowledge. You'll engage in laboratory projects, working both independently and collaboratively in small groups. The curriculum emphasizes project management skills and applying technical expertise to solve real-world challenges.
Your third year will be dedicated to an industry placement. Students can select from approved opportunities or arrange their own placement with a suitable company. Throughout this industrial year, you'll maintain full university registration with scheduled meetings with your placement advisor.
As technology continues evolving rapidly, you'll graduate equipped to design, comprehend, and advance tomorrow's electrical control systems with confidence.
This program delivers essential engineering knowledge for careers in the field or various other professional paths.
All electrical and electronic engineering undergraduates begin with a shared curriculum, enabling specialization changes through the second year's third semester. Options to include or remove study abroad and industrial placement years remain available after enrollment. By year three, you can focus on subjects aligning with your professional goals.
MEng applicants receive contextual BEng offers, ensuring admission to the bachelor's program if they narrowly miss master's entry requirements.

Consequently, we treat all applicants with alternative qualifications (besides A-levels and the International Baccalaureate) on an individual basis and we gladly accept students with a whole range of less conventional qualifications including: Access to HE Diploma, Advanced Diploma, and BTEC Nationals. For those with lower predicted grades, applications will be considered for entry onto the foundation year. For those considered for year one entry, our typical offer is as follows: RQF Level 3 BTEC National Extended Diploma in Engineering – D*DD including Distinction in units: Engineering Principles, Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems and Further Engineering Maths. RQF Level 3 BTEC National Diploma in Engineering or Science and A Levels – D*D + A in A Level Maths, RQF Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in Engineering and A Levels – D + AA to include A Level Maths, RQF Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in any subject and A Levels - D + B in A Level Mathematics and a B in on of A Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Electronics, Design & Technology, Computing, Further Mathematics, or Design Engineering. Access to HE Diploma - Access to HE Diploma 36 Level 3 credits at Distinction (to include a minimum of 15 Level 3 credits at Distinction in Mathematics) and 9 Level 3 credits at Merit. Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) - If you have already achieved your EPQ at grade A you will automatically be offered one grade lower in a non-mandatory A level subject. If you are still studying for your EPQ you will receive the standard course offer, with a condition of one grade lower in a non-mandatory A level subject if you achieve an A grade in your EPQ. Please note that if you qualify for an enhanced contextual offer, your EPQ will not be taken into consideration as we are unable to make any further adjustments to your offer.
