About

Electrical engineers have played a significant role in advancing technology, continuously innovating and enhancing systems that benefit society. Smartphones have revolutionised the way we communicate, electronics in security systems help us feel safer, and new electrical systems in medical equipment have allowed us to monitor patients more effectively.

Keen to play your part? With the rapid expansion of the sustainability and technology sector, the demand for electrical engineers has risen. You could find yourself at the forefront of innovation in manufacturing or aerospace. Designing power electronics to improve wireless communication technologies. Or, how about helping the UK to have cleaner energy to meet the 2050 wind generation targets? With many global organisations having research and development facilities across the UK, the choice is yours.

Be Inspired by industry

This programme is shaped by our outstanding industry connections. To set yourself up for employment success, you’ll have the opportunity to apply for industrial experience with our flexible 4-year course. We invite guest speakers from companies such as H&MV Engineering, Ricardo plc, and Octopus Electric Vehicles. We also offer IET membership, so you can receive sector updates and access to networking.

Our course is continually developing and adapting to meet the fast-paced industry demands. Our team of research-active academics update the modules based on the latest developments in the industry. So, you’ll learn about relevant topics from communication and wireless systems to power systems and electric vehicles. Equipped with specialised skills ready to solve real-world problems, you’ll put your knowledge into action in our newly refurbished electronics lab. We were recently ranked 16th in the world and 1st in the UK for Electrical and Electronic Engineering - US News World University Ranking 2024.
