    Electronic & Electrical Engineering

    About

    Study with us

    • industry-supported scholarships programme
    • throughout the course, you'll undertake technical projects linked to engineering companies and international research activities in topics including clean energy, cybersecurity and 5G communications
    • technical projects linked to engineering companies and international research activities in topics including clean energy, cyber security and 5G communications
    • options to study abroad or take part in our solar energy projects in Africa

    Why this course?

    Electronic & electrical engineering is at the heart of everything we do - from renewable energy and smart grids to high-speed fibre-optic broadband, digital sound and vision, and internet security.

    Electronic & electrical engineers are the people who:

    • design, build, operate and maintain our global power systems, our telecommunications networks and computing infrastructure
    • develop electronic systems essential to industry, health and entertainment

    Their aim is to find innovative and progressive solutions to today’s global challenges whether that’s technologies to deliver clean energy, systems to improve audio and image quality on your phone, tablet and laptop, or techniques to improve digital imagery in medical devices to aid diagnosis.

    All our courses have full accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council, which means you can become a ‘chartered engineer’ – a must for most employers.
