About

Course overview

Our course provides the professional expertise you need for a successful career in engineering or in a variety of other professions. Through a combination of lecture material and extensive lab-based projects, working individually and in small teams, you will build the numerical, analytical and technical knowledge and skills to meet the engineering challenges of the future.

All undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering initially follow a common programme of study, learning the fundamental skills of this discipline. As you progress through the course, the core content and practical projects will focus towards your area of specialisation. You'll spend year three in industry, gaining valuable experience and enhancing your skills. This industrial year boosts your employability and professional development, with regular support from the University. This course offers significant flexibility to transfer to any other EEE strand after joining, where this is possible.

Important information

This online prospectus has been drafted in advance of the academic year to which it applies. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information is accurate at the time of publishing, but changes (for example to course content) are likely to occur given the interval between publishing and commencement of the course. It is therefore very important to check this website for any updates before you apply for the course where there has been an interval between you reading this website and applying.
