Electronic and electrical engineering principles lie at the heart of some of the world’s biggest industries. Combining core topics across electronic engineering with a variety of specialist modules, this course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to work in a wide range of electronics careers.
You’ll develop your knowledge of the mathematical and scientific principles that underpin electronic and electrical engineering, as well as key topics like circuit design and communications networks. Specialist modules will allow you to build on this foundation in areas like power electronics, energy conversion, control circuits and electric drives.
Taught by expert researchers, you’ll learn in world-class facilities and undertake project work in every year of the course to gain the knowledge and professional skills to succeed in fields from hybrid vehicles to electrical power generation and distribution.
You can choose to take either the four-year Integrated Masters (MEng, BEng) or the three-year Bachelor’s (BEng) degree on this course.

Specialist facilities
You’ll have access to world-class facilities, including the ARM Embedded Systems Laboratory and the Keysight Technologies Wireless Communications Laboratory, which features professional-standard equipment including arbitrary function generators and 100MHz 4-channel oscilloscopes.
For your final-year project, you could also have access to facilities such as our bionanoelectronics research laboratory, terahertz imaging laboratory, or ABB robotic arm laboratory.
Accreditation
This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.
Accreditation is the assurance that a university course meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares its students. An accredited electronic engineering course must meet the quality standards set by the IET.

Course programme

All of our core electronic and electrical degree courses have a common first two years. This lays the foundations of your studies and gives you a thorough understanding of key topics, but it also means you can easily change between these courses until the end of Year 2.

You’ll learn about the physical principles that affect the function of electronic components and electrical systems, as well as circuit theory, analysis and design. You’ll also study communications systems and networks, power electronics and modules designed to improve your mathematical skills for engineering.

In Year 3 you’ll take more specialised modules that focus on topics such as embedded systems and integrated circuit design – and you’ll have the chance to choose a module in either digital communications or radio frequency and microwave design.

If you choose to continue to Year 4 for the MEng qualification, you’ll have a wider variety of choice in topics such as medical electronics, using renewable sources to generate electric power and wireless communications systems. You’ll also undertake a substantial research project to apply what you’ve learned, and complete a dissertation on an aspect of the electronics industry to help prepare you for professional life.

Projects

Every year of the course gives you hands-on experience of project work. This gives you the opportunity to explore your subject further as well as developing valuable skills in problem solving, communication and teamwork.

Engineering ethics

You’ll study engineering ethics as part of your course, with lectures and/or seminars in each year of your study. Visit our engineering ethics webpage to find out more.
