About this course
You’ll explore up-to-the-minute fields including smart power, instrumentation, process control, communications and remote sensing. You’ll design, build and test prototypes in our embedded systems lab, robotics lab and digital manufacturing lab. And you’ll get the chance to spend a year on placement in industry. That way, you’ll gain key skills that employers are looking for: analysis, design and business awareness. Along the way, you’ll have full support from our award-winning careers team.
But it’s not all study and work. There are lots of extra-curricular activities for you to get involved with as well. Join our thriving Robotics Society, and become part of our Hull Electric Racing Team (HERT). As a member of HERT, you’ll help to build a single seater racing car and compete against other students at Silverstone.
As well as our three-year course, we offer four- and five-year options. Choose from a built-in placement year or an integrated Masters (MEng) – or both. And like all our engineering courses, Electrical and Electronic Engineering shares a common first year. That means you can switch degrees in second year if you want to choose a different pathway.
Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time is divided across the year varies and depends on the module you are studying.
How you'll be assessed depends on the course you study, and the modules you choose. You may be assessed through a mix of examinations, coursework, presentations and group projects.
