About the course
Our recent £1m investment in a new electronic engineering lab demonstrates our commitment to this course, and means you use state-of-the-art equipment and enjoy top-tier teaching as you study.
Throughout this degree, you develop skills in all key electronic engineering areas, including analogue and digital electronics; signal processing; sensors; digital communications; software engineering; and embedded programming. You learn via a combination of theoretical learning, high-quality learning materials and hands-on, practical experience, quickly becoming adept at solving real-world engineering problems.
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council UK, the course fully meets the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meets the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

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.
