Electronic and Electrical Engineering (with foundation year) FT Beng (Hon)

Mathematics underpins every great engineering solution. That’s why, in your first year, we focus on mathematics and support you to develop a board knowledge of engineering and science. You’ll be ready for anything once you move on to BEng (Hons) Electronic and Electrical Engineering in your second year.<br/><br/>With a focus on sustainability and environmental issues, you’ll have opportunities to get involved in industry projects. Coupled with our support, you’ll develop into a creative and confident engineering graduate.<br/><br/>It’s impossible to imagine a world without electronic and electrical engineering. It covers everything from tiny integrated circuits in household items and mobile phones, to the large-scale utilities that power our homes. The industry is fast paced and rapidly changing with a focus on renewable and sustainable energy sources. An electronic and electrical degree from NTU can put you are the forefront of this exciting technological revolution by providing the skills and knowledge needed to be a great engineer.<br/><br/>We are partnering with industry every step of the way to ensure that you become the very best engineer of the future by working with all types and sizes of engineering organisations. In our innovative approach, you’ll spend a large proportion of your time each year applying theory to live, industry-led projects. You’ll also have the opportunity to apply for a year-long work placement to boost your industry knowledge even further.<br/><br/>It’s OK if you want to change direction at the end of your foundation year. The flexibility means that we can support you if you want to move onto one of our other engineering or mathematics courses in your second year. <br/><br/>**Accreditation**<br/>Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.<br/><br/>This course is recognised by CDIO, a framework that has a project based learning approach. This framework stresses engineering fundamentals set in the context of Conceiving — Designing — Implementing — Operating (CDIO) real-world systems and products. The framework is dedicated to providing students with their initial grounding in engineering through live projects.

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is a university like no other – their combination of world-class facilities, quality teaching, award-winning student support and a buzzing student community provides a student experience like no other. <br/><br/>Ranked 2nd in the UK for Student Life (University Compare 2026), NTU is a place that everyone can call home. Artisanal chefs can perfect their choux buns in industry-standard kitchens, athletes can test their skills at local sports clubs & major stadiums, and lawyers can build up their confidence in the mock courtroom. With over 130 clubs and societies to choose from, you'll also have the chance to try out new activities and meet people from across the globe.<br/><br/>NTU is based in the Midlands, the cheapest region to live as a student in England (National Student Money Survey 2023). With over 60,000 students, it’s compact, friendly, and well-located, and offers amazing experiences, life-changing opportunities, and a unique spirit. <br/><br/>Start your NTU journey this September with guaranteed accommodation (T&C's apply). <br/><br/>"Coming here was the best decision I ever made; the course is fantastic, everything has been really easy, and I honestly couldn't see myself anywhere else now."<br/>Katie Hewiston, BA (Hons) Fashion Management
