Frequently asked questions

What are the pathway options in the course?

You will be able to choose either the ‘Electrical’ or the ‘Electronic and Telecommunication’ pathway before you start the second year (Level 5) of your course.

How big are the classes?

For some of your classes you’ll be in lectures with other engineering disciplines and break down into smaller groups for tutorials. In more specialist modules you’ll be in smaller groups with just your course cohort.

How will I learn on the course?

Your studies will be a mix of practical and theory. Generally, you’ll learn the theory before going on to demonstrate it in a practical experiment in the laboratories. Alongside these subject specific skills, we’ll work with you to develop your employability and transferable skills, so you’ll be able to approach industry with confidence.

Can I do a placement year as part of the course?

Yes, you can look to undertake a year-long industry placement and you’ll be supported by our own placements team and careers staff to highlight your opportunities to apply for placements in industry and help you with your CV, interviews and careers skills to make sure you present yourself and your talent in the best possible way.

What have graduates gone on to do?

We’ve seen Electrical and Electronic graduates employed at companies such as General Electric, Ericson, Phoenix Dynamics, Hitachi Energy, BAE Systems, and Capula amongst others. But there are also many of our graduates who go on to further studies.
