About the course
Apprentices learn to apply knowledge of electronics and embedded software to the design of circuits or devices that provide useful function, that can be produced at a competitive cost and that are reliable and safe to use


Our degree apprenticeship scheme applies the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering’s excellence and experience in delivering higher education to deliver the academic requirements of a standard proposed by the Electronic Systems Community (ESCO), now published on the Skills Funding Agency website


Apprentices are employed throughout and will enrol full-time on one of our highly popular, IET-accredited, three-year BEng degree pathways, which includes 28 weeks of teaching each year at our Colchester Campus The students do not pay the course fees, as these are paid by the Government and the company

When not at university, apprentices return to the workplace where further vocational outcomes for the apprenticeship scheme are carried out by the employer


Our School has an outstanding employability record, with over 90% of graduates achieving graduate level employment or further study within 6 months of graduation, a result unmatched across the UK HEI sector


Our expert staff
We have been one of the leading electronics departments in the country throughout our history, and in recent years, our prolific research staff have contributed to some major breakthroughs


We invented the world's first telephone based system for deaf people to communicate with each other in 1981, with cameras and display devices that were able to work within the limited telephone bandwidth
