About the course
Reasons to study
- Flexibility - in our Electronic and Electrical Engineering subject area, all our degree programmes share the same first year of study, which means you can leave your options open until the start of your second year.
- Enhance your employability - past students have spent their placement year at companies, for example, Nissan, Bosch, Sellafield Ltd and Intel.
- Prepare for your future career - in your first and second year, you'll study through EnABLE (Engineering in an Activity Based Learning Environment), working in small teams to solve real engineering problems, just like engineers do in industry.
Money isn’t the only thing that makes the world go round. Communications technology plays a crucial role in the stability of the global economy, with continuous advances in electronics and communications leaving an invaluable impact on the modern world. EngineeringUK projections suggest net growth in engineering roles of 2.8% compared to 2.3% in all occupations. Growth at that level would lead to 173,000 new engineering and technology jobs by 2030.*
The demands for new devices and environmentally sustainable solutions are only increasing as communications technology becomes even more advanced. This is where you can have an impact, studying Electronic and Communication Engineering could enhance your career prospects and lead to careers with vast earning potential, allowing you to create the lifestyle you want in the future. The top three job titles advertised in the UK for graduate roles associated with Electronic and Communication Engineering are Communications Engineer, Test Engineer and Lead Engineer**.

Why study Electronic and Communication Engineering BEng(Hons) at Huddersfield?
You’ll be taught by academics who are also professional engineers, many of whom have years of industry and research experience, this course covers a broad range of topics, for example,, digital and analogue system integration, AM and FM detectors, and aerials and satellite communications. Our aim is to provide you the knowledge and skills to succeed in this fast-paced sector, careers in this industry could include systems engineer, electronic design engineer or a metrology engineer.
In our Electronic and Electrical Engineering subject area, our degree programmes share the same first year of study, so you can leave your options open until the start of your second year.
Following your second year, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in an optional industry work placement, where you’ll put your knowledge into practice and boost your employability. In your final year you will work on a selected individual research/design project with the support of your academic supervisor. It is possible to align this with one of the Master's team projects, which involve the design, build and friendly competitive testing of either a road, airborne or rail vehicle, for example, Team HARE, Team Hawk or HudRail.
During year one and two, you'll take part in our EnABLE (Engineering in an Activity Based Learning Environment) initiative. This sees you work in small teams to solve real engineering problems. EnABLE reflects how real engineering departments operate, which could boost your employability when undertaking an optional industrial placement and when securing your first graduate role post-university.
Our course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), which helps you achieve Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status and part of Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.
