Electrical and Electronic Engineering

87% of our engineering research has been evaluated as internationally excellent or world leading

Gain a career advantage by developing practical and transferrable engineering skills using cutting-edge technologies to solve real-world problems. Grasp the opportunity to join our BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering course to prepare yourself for one of the world’s most in-demand professions.

Learn about the design, fabrication and use of a wide range of electronics, circuits, devices and power systems. Our dedicated state-of-the-art Electrical and Electronic laboratories include:

• Plastic Electronic Laboratory
• Renewable Energy Laboratory
• Power Systems and Electrical Machines Laboratory
• Embedded Systems Laboratory
• Control and Simulation Laboratory

Our Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree offers flexible pathways to specialise your learning in Electrical Engineering, or Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering.

The Electrical pathway is focused on electrical rotating machines, power system analysis and power electronics for power generation, transmission, distribution, and supply industries.

The Electronic and Telecommunication pathway is focused on the design and development of innovative solutions for a wide range of engineering problems by utilising embedded systems and evolving communication techniques.

Both pathways also provide deep knowledge and understanding of emerging technologies in control systems, semiconductor devices, and renewable energies allowing you the opportunity to gain transferrable skills required in consumer electronics, power systems, transport, medical, and defence industries.

In Year 1, your learning will closely mirror our other engineering degree disciplines (Mechanical, Automotive, Aeronautical, etc.) to ensure you have a solid foundation in engineering principles. (See Module section for more details).

In Year 2 you’ll have the option of choosing your specialisation pathway in areas such as Electrical Engineering or Electronic & Telecommunication Engineering. You will still have some common modules with other engineering disciplines such as Automation & Control Engineering, Engineering Mathematics and Leadership & Management. These modules will give you a great chance to develop your employability skills and get you ready for potential graduate roles. Upon completing your second year you have the option of taking a placement year with industry or proceed with your final year.

Placement Year

If you have enrolled on the course with the option of placement you can also look to undertake an industry placement and you’ll be supported by our own placements team and careers staff with your CV preparation, interviews and careers skills to make sure you present yourself and your talent in the best possible way. For example, our students have gained placements previously with Capula and BMW amongst others. Placement is usually a 12-month full-time role that relates to the subject a student is studying. During the year you have been accepted into the placement you will still be enrolled on your course and have connections with the university and your academic staff, this is treated as your year 3 and upon your return to the academic environment you will have the opportunity to complete your last year of the course as Year 4.

In Year 3 the major part of your course will be associated to completing a substantial engineering project as well as focusing on specialised modules related to your choice of pathway on the course. For example, on the Electrical Engineering pathway you will be obtain in depth knowledge and understanding in electrical power generation, transmission, distribution and supply industry as well as ability to conduct complex power system analysis and power electronic applications.

And if you have chosen the Electronic & Telecommunication pathway you will have the opportunity to develop your skills on Advanced communication systems and digital design circuits for embedded system applications.

You will also get the chance to present your work and project to industry and the public at our annual GradEX event.

The course operates on a modular basis that provides flexibility and choice. Typically the modules are 30 or 15 academic credits. Each credit taken equates to a total study time of around 10 hours. Total study time includes scheduled teaching, independent study and assessment activity. Full-time students take modules worth 60 credits per semester, with part-time students taking proportionately fewer credits per semester. All students take a total of 120 credits per level and 360 credits for the degree as a whole. Your overall grade for the course and your degree classification are based on the marks obtained for modules taken at levels 5 and 6.  The full-time course has one start point in September.
