Why Study BEng(Hons) Electronic and Computer Engineering? Imagine a world without electricity or electronic devices. It is easy to see why electrical and electronic engineering is vital to our survival and the development of future technologies. Electronic engineers play a vital role in the design, development, distribution and eventual recycling of numerous everyday products. As a result, qualified electrical and electronic engineers are in demand. You will study digital and analogue electronics, mathematics and computer programming, and the application of electronics in a range of environments. As you progress, you will examine signal processing, micro-controllers, communications, control systems and digital hardware design. Alongside, you will develop professional skills in project planning, group work and communication. Throughout the course, you will apply knowledge through practical projects in our state-of-the-art facilities. You will get an inside track on the industry through factory tours and professional briefings from leading organisations. Study part-time on our course. Designed alongside major employers, it will equip you with the skills and knowledge for a successful career in this profession. We also arrange Careers Fairs and engineer 'speed dating' events to help you find work as soon as you graduate. This course is taught at Gloucestershire College (years 1, 2 and 3) and the University of the West of England (years 4 and 5). It is validated by the University of the West of England.
