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.
This programme is not available to international students. Instead, international students should apply for our international foundation programmes delivered by our International Study Centre on campus. For more information please visit International Study Centre.
Developments in electronics and computers have played a massive role in progressing society over the years, and they will continue to shape our world in the future.
Our integrated foundation degrees are for those of you who possess the capability to pursue a degree but do not have the pre-requisite qualifications to directly apply to your desired course, it leads onto our accredited BEng(Hons). The duration of the foundation element is one year and if you successfully pass, you will automatically progress on to the degree.
‘Invisible computers’ help to operate everyday systems like supermarket and goods logistics, transportation networks, energy capture and generation, diagnostic equipment used in hospitals, broadband and satellites and more. The list is endless and so is the need for engineers to push forward innovation. If you want to design products to shape society, want the opportunity to work across a range of varied sectors and a career with significant earning potential which will allow you to create the future lifestyle you want, this course could be for you.
Why study Electronic Engineering and Computer Systems 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. Our course covers a variety of topics including software and hardware, and how they are designed for embedded systems, the Internet of Things, computer system architectures, and networks.
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, Sensors Technical Lead or Electronic Design Engineer.
In our Electronic and Electrical Engineering subject area, our degree programmes share the same second year of study, so you can leave your options open until the start of your third year.
Following your third 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 two and three, 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.
