The continuing rapid expansion of technology calls for highly qualified and skilled electronic and electrical engineers. Studying electrical and electronic engineering will prepare you for a vast range of exciting careers, equipping you with technical engineering skills as well as technology, communication and design expertise.

Students will:

• Develop the skills, knowledge and understanding of engineering-based disciplines and their applications
• use our on-site advanced facilities to help prepare for the demands of working in this industry
• use our computer-aided design (CAD), electronics and engineering laboratories
• investigate the theory of electrical and electronic engineering and then put your learning into practice, developing skills in CAD, computer application, business management and project
• discover specialist topics to study including analogue and digital electronics, software design, digital signal processing, control engineering, microprocessors, radio systems and industrial control systems

YEAR 1 (FOUNDATION YEAR)

 The foundation year will provide a grounding for students in all aspects of Engineering and Design in order to prepare them for further years of study.

• Analytical Methods for Engineering
• Design and Technology
• Mechanical Science
• Electrical and Electronic Science
• The Skills You Need
• Contextual Studies

YEAR 2 (LEVEL 4)

The level 4 modules are common to both the electrical and electronic programmes, these modules will lay the foundations for the rest of your degree programme and will equip you with the core theoretical and practical skills you will need to successfully complete the remaining years of study.

MODULES 

• Mechanical Science
• Electrical Science
• Laboratory Methods and Materials
• Engineering Mathematics
