Electrical and Electronic Engineering Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) - BEng (Hon)

Study full or part-time on this course designed to equip you with the skills to succeed in your career.

Why study electrical and electronic engineering?

We're facing a global energy crisis, with an urgent need for sustainable electricity solutions, for both now and the future. Increased demand is leading to a shortage of fossil fuels, resulting in supply chain issues and soaring energy prices across the global economy.

Study electrical and electronic engineering and you'll be at the forefront of solving today's energy challenges. Play a vital role in developing technology to reduce our carbon footprint and you'll make a real difference to society.

Electrical and electronic engineering is a multidisciplinary area, bringing together several disciplines to deal with real-world challenges. These range from power, electronics, digital and analogue, computing, system design, mathematics and physics.

From power electronic solutions for electric vehicles and aircrafts to renewable energy resources, advances in these fields are transforming the way we travel and power our homes and businesses. As an electrical or electronic engineer, you'll become a champion of social impact, designing innovative energy solutions to reduce society's power consumption.

Where can it take me?

As a student engineer, you'll start your professional journey towards becoming an incorporated or chartered engineer from day one. You'll learn by doing, applying and revisiting your early skills through embedded project weeks and developing digital and physical prototypes, as you would in practice.

Choose a career designing electrical and electronic systems, working on consumer technology or solving engineering problems for communications and power generation/distribution companies. You could also work in technology, manufacturing, transport and rail, aviation and a host of other industries.

\*This licence is only available for the final year of the course.
