Course Overview

Electronic & electrical engineering is at the heart of everything we do - from renewable energy and smart grids to high-speed fibre-optic broadband, digital sound and vision, and internet security.

Electronic & electrical engineers are the people who design, build, operate and maintain our global power systems, our telecommunications networks and computing infrastructure, and develop electronic systems essential to industry, health and entertainment.

They aim to find innovative and progressive solutions to today’s global challenges. That might be technologies to deliver clean energy, systems to improve audio and image quality on your phone, tablet and laptop, or techniques to improve digital imagery in medical devices to aid diagnosis.

Studying electronic and electrical engineering offers all these opportunities and with two million new employees needed in the UK sector by 2020, your career prospects are vast.

International experience and studying abroad are highly valued by employers. You’ll study the core electronic & electrical engineering curriculum but with a full year at a partner university overseas. You’ll learn fundamental technical knowledge and relevant analytical skills. You can also take language classes to prepare for your year abroad.
