About This Course
This course will prepare you for work as a professional electronic engineer specialising in control and instrumentation engineering which lies at the heart of many industries, from nuclear and renewable power generation to all sorts of manufacturing industries. You will gain extensive practical experience to ensure that you develop sound practical skills as well as a thorough theoretical knowledge. You will study general aspects of electronic engineering and specialised modules.
Why choose Bangor University for this course?
- A tailored degree for the sector skills.
- Strong links with the energy sector – Nuclear Futures Institute.
Course Content
The first two years of the programme follow the same modules as computer systems engineering. From the third year you are honed into a C&I Engineer, focusing very much on control theory and practice, and the necessary knowledge of signal processing and systems. 
The fourth year of the degree joins the two advanced topics of Sensors and Control Systems. You will complement this with elements of industrial control in a very real sense with Programmable Logic Controllers. This is accompanied with a Team project. The project usually links to an industry partner and really stretches you to really solve a real-life industry challenge. 
You will spend about 12 hours in lectures and 8 in laboratories each week. You will also have tutorials and have to write up experiments, work on software design and complete numerical problem-solving exercises.
You will have an examination for each module at the end of the semester. Some modules have coursework assessment as well. Your laboratory work books, technical reports and the individual project also contribute to your marks.
Facilities
- Large fully equipped computing laboratories and all the latest software.
- We have recently installed an immersive technologies laboratory, where the latest devices are used for project and research work. 
General University Facilities
Library and Archive Services
Our four libraries provide a range of attractive study environments including collaborative work areas, meeting rooms and silent study spaces.
We have an extensive collection of books and journals and many of the journals are available online in full-text format.
We house one of the largest university-based archives not only in Wales, but also the UK. Allied to the Archives is the Special Collections of rare printed books.
Learning Resources
There is a range of learning resources available, supported by experienced staff, to help you in your studies.
The University’s IT Services provides computing, media and reprographics facilities and services including:
- Over 1,150 computers for students, with some PC rooms open 24 hours a day
- Blackboard, a commercial Virtual Learning Environment, that makes learning materials available on-line.
Careers
Our graduates have excellent career prospects in the fast-growing power generation and power distribution sectors, including low-carbon and renewable generation as well as the manufacturing industry. Many take up control and instrumentation engineering posts in power stations, power distribution network operators, or government or private research and development facilities. You will be well-versed in the general principles of Electronic Engineering, with all the career opportunities those skills entail. The problem-solving and numerate nature of all our engineering degree courses means that graduates will be highly valued in many other professions, ranging from general management roles to working as numerical analysts. Postgraduate study is another exciting option for some.

What is a Foundation Year course?
If you don’t have the required qualifications for the degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you.
The Foundation Year is an excellent introduction to studying this subject at university and will provide you with the knowledge, skills and confidence required to go on to study this course at degree-level.
When you have successfully completed the Foundation Year, you can progress on to the first year of this degree-level course.
My name is Kavisha Prince Anthony, and I always had a dream of studying abroad. Thankfully, that dream came to life since I applied to the Study Advisor. I was able to receive my visa within four days. I also had some visa refusals in the past; I had about six UK visa refusals in the past, but thankfully, it was not an issue since the Study Advisor was able to make things work this time. I highly recommend Study Advisor for your dreams of going abroad, whether it be the UK or any other European country there is.
