It touches all aspects of our lives, and we couldn't do without it. So suppose you like the idea of creating electrical and electronic systems which could help millions of people on a day-to-day basis, like the systems used in phones, computers, or the generation and distribution of electrical supply systems. In that case, a degree in Electronic & Electrical Engineering is for you.
This course balances the study of electronic and electrical engineering and focuses on applying these skills to real-world engineering situations. The study is broad enough to allow entry to various career paths in all electronic and electrical engineering areas or as an engineer working within other types of organizations. In year one, you will develop knowledge of the principles of the field and engineering management.
During years two and three, you will implement practical solutions across various applications and develop skills in lateral problem-solving and innovative thinking.
You will work on your honors project in your final year and gain enhanced skills in analog electronics, embedded systems, electrical machines, and power systems.
Our entry requirements indicate the minimum qualifications with which we usually accept students. Competition for places varies yearly, and you aren't guaranteed a business if you meet the minimum qualifications.
Advanced entry into Year 2, Year 3, or Year 4 is possible for students with suitable qualifications.
