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, and develop electronic systems essential to industry, health and entertainment.
Year 1: electronics, electrical engineering, analogue and digital circuits, maths and computing; business management classes integrated each year for those on the Business Studies stream; practical labs and project work introduce design and build activities.
Year 2: topics such as digital electronics, electromagnetism, and engineering design and manufacture develop core engineering skills.
Year 3: specialist subjects in signals and communications systems, engineering innovation, and digital technology design.
Year 4: individual design project in your chosen specialism and selection of classes including multimedia systems, power electronics and robotics.
Year 5 (MEng only): group design project to build a prototype system to showcase at the end-of-year industry exhibition; choice of advanced topics including renewable energy technologies, digital communications and embedded systems.
