Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng

Course overview

All Engineering students at Warwick develop an in-depth understanding of the classical principles of Engineering by following a general engineering programme for the first year.

As a student on the Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree, you will specialise from the second year which will include a Design Project in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The later years of the degree cover power electronics, electrical machines, systems modelling and the operation and control of power systems.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduates contribute to a variety of sectors and industries such as power electronics, electrical power generation, aerospace, automotive, marine engineering and a sustainable environment.
