Why Study Electrical Engineering at Durham University - Study Group?

Durham University is one of the top universities in the UK for engineering, with a strong reputation for producing graduates who are highly sought after by employers. The University's state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, as well as its expert lecturers, provide students with an ideal environment in which to learn and grow. In addition, Durham University is located in the beautiful city of Durham, which offers a range of cultural and recreational activities for students to enjoy.

The course is mainly delivered through a mixture of lectures, problem classes, practical and design activities. Typically lectures provide key information on a particular field of study and identify the main underpinning engineering concepts in that area. Problem classes then provide opportunities for smaller groups to work through practical examples, based on the knowledge that you have gained through your lectures and through independent study outside the degree's formal contact hours. Finally, practical classes allow you to gain direct experience of practical and interpretative skills through laboratory classes, design activities, and a Professional Engineering Applications Course (PEAC). The balance of these types of activities changes as you develop your knowledge and your ability as an independent learner. This is one of the key attributes that you will develop (thereby preparing you for work or further study once you have completed the course). In the first two years, you will typically attend 12 hours a week of lectures (two hours per module) and have three hours of practical classes or design activities each week plus problem classes and small group supervision. In the first year, there is a one-week full-time compulsory PEAC course and at the end of the second year, there is a two-week full-time practical course. Outside timetabled contact hours, you are also expected to undertake your own independent study to prepare for your classes and broaden your subject knowledge.
