Today, and in the future, we look to electronics to provide answers for complex problems.  Take the mobile phone: a very sophisticated computer and communications system that links to a worldwide network of antennas allowing it to connect to any other mobile or landline as well as the internet.  Or the digital camera, at the heart of which is a sophisticated electronic device containing millions of individual light level detectors. 
Modern electronics requires an understanding of fundamental analogue and digital circuits to enable the design of elements that can be connected together to make small systems, which serve as the modular blocks for bigger, more complex systems. 
We live in an information age.  Complex systems require digital signal processing (for images, audio and other signals).  Technological developments in communications...

If you have followed a non-standard educational route and have been, for example, educated at home, your application will be considered against the standard entry criteria of the course to which you applied. You will be required to demonstrate that you meet the academic entry requirements as specified for the course. We will also require a reference which should be written by somebody who knows you well enough, in an official capacity, to write about you and your suitability for higher education. Please refer to UCAS for further information: UCAS reference guidelines
Access and Foundation Programmes:
The School accepts applications from other selected university foundation programmes, for further information contact the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering directly. 


Direct admission to the second year:
We receive many applications from students requesting direct admission to the second year of our undergraduate degree programmes. Such students will normally have completed a relevant Diploma course in a Polytechnic or University abroad and will have achieved a minimum GPA of 3.5 or have completed the first year of an appropriate degree programme in the UK and have achieved an average mark of at least 70%. You should refer to the content of the first year of our degree programmes to verify that you have the required pre-requisites for direct entry into the second year.


Mature Students:
We welcome mature students, particularly those with relevant industrial experience. You will need to demonstrate good up to date mathematical knowledge and a high degree of motivation.
  GCSE English Language Grade C
GCE O-Level English Language Grade C
IELTS 6.0 with no subtest less than 5.5
TOEFL IB: 79 overall with a minimum of 21 in each subtest

Mitigating circumstances may be personal or family illness, other family circumstances, change of teachers during a course, problems with school facilities or an unusual curriculum followed by your school or college. We recommend that information on mitigating circumstances that have affected or are likely to affect your academic performance will be included in the referee's report. We cannot usually take into account information that is supplied after an adverse decision has been made on an application by the admitting School. If you encounter mitigating circumstances after you have submitted your application, please inform the admissions staff in the School to which you applied as soon as possible.  Where mitigating circumstances have already been taken into account, for example by the relevant Exam Board, we will not be able to make further allowances.
We invite all promising undergraduate applicants who are bachelorsed in the UK to visit our department and attend an interview
Applicants for deferred entry are considered equally to other applications up to the point of confirmation. Deferred entry is granted on the discretion of admissions staff, and is normally granted for one year.
Some English language test results, such as IELTS or TOEFL, are only valid for two years from the test date.
If you have re-sat individual modules to improve your grades, we will consider your application according to the standard selection process. If you are planning to re-sit the final Year 13 examinations, or have already done so, the University will consider your application, but we may require further information in order to make an informed judgment on your application.
If you applied in the previous year and your application was not successful you may apply again. Your application will be considered against the standard course entry criteria for that year of entry.  In your new application you should demonstrate how your application has improved.  We may draw upon all information from your previous applications or any previous registrations at the University as a student when assessing your suitability for your chosen course.  If you are applying for a place for the same year of entry through UCAS Extra, you should provide additional evidence of your suitability for the course. If you are applying through clearing you are required to meet the clearing requirements. In both UCAS Extra and clearing the places will be subject to availability.
We allow students to transfer directly into the second year of our undergraduate programmes. Our usual requirements for transfer are marks of at least 70% and we expect your first year to be of similar standard and content to our programmes in order to qualify for exemption.
Please note we do not offer transfers into the third year of our courses.
