Description

  • Type

    Bachelor's degree

  • Location

    London

  • Duration

    3 Years

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). All our degree programmes have a common first and second year covering material fundamental to electronic and electrical engineering. You will make your final choice between the BEng or one of the MEng programmes towards the end of the second year (subject to any visa requirements if applicable). Applying initially for a MEng gives you the most control over your plans. Project work is undertaken every year, and your final year will include a substantial individual project. The work is varied. There are projects to suit all tastes, ranging from original research to intricate design and development of software and devices.

About this course

You will gain the analytical and problem-solving skills required for employment in engineering as well as a diverse range of fields including finance and consultancy services. You will benefit from the intellectual challenge and stimulation deriving from our world-class research. You will also have access to state-of-the-art software and instruments in our extensive teaching laboratories.
The degree is part of an integrated programme across UCL Engineering which provides opportunities to broaden your horizons through interactions and projects with students from other engineering disciplines. The programme is accredited by the IET.

The breadth of employment opportunities our graduates enjoy proves the value of your UCL degree. The sound grounding in numeracy, problem-solving, industry, computing and other technical matters that is involved in the programme is highly regarded by employers. Careers for graduates of this programme are available in diverse environments such as the electronics industries in the UK, Europe and East Asia. You may wish to start your own business in software design or production or join a financial or trading institution. Alternatively, if you wish to continue studying towards a Master's or PhD qualification, your degree will provide a firm foundation for this.

English Language and Mathematics at grade C or 5. For UK-based students, a grade C or 5 or equivalent in a foreign language (other than Ancient Greek, Biblical Hebrew or Latin) is required.

The BEng has been accredited by the IET as partially meeting the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Full satisfaction of the academic requirements would generally require one year of further study at Master's level.

Your learning

Your modules will be taught in a number of ways: some highly innovative and some, such as lectures, more traditional. We are among the first in the country to introduce a scenario-based learning approach. In years one and two you will attend tutorials, while in year three you will have project supervision sessions with an academic member of staff.

Assessment

Modules are examined in the summer term of each year. In many cases a proportion of the total mark is allocated for laboratory and coursework.
