About this course

Surrey is one of the UK’s leading universities for electrical and electronic engineering, with our courses ranked 2nd in the Guardian University Guide 2020.

The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering designs and builds innovative commercial satellites which are launched into orbit – having pioneered the small satellite industry nearly 40 years ago. This means that our BEng and MEng Electronic Engineering with Space Systems courses give you a unique opportunity to gain knowledge and experience from inspiring academics at the frontline of space engineering.

A Professional Training placement provides you with the opportunity to develop your professional, academic and personal potential, equipping you to be adaptable, resilient, globally minded, confident, entrepreneurial and digitally savvy in the workplace. These qualities are widely recognised by employers and many of our students are offered employment on graduation by their placement provider.

The Professional Training placement year gives our students an insight into their subject and career potential, and early access to professional experience. It can be invaluable in developing work-based skills and helping them secure a graduate career.
