Course Overview

The BEng in Electronic and Electrical Engineering provides a solid technical understanding of the subject, together with analytical, problem-solving, and collaborative skills necessary for a successful career in technological innovation and engineering. The program is part of UCL's Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP), which engages students in specialist and interdisciplinary engineering activities.

What This Course Will Give You

• A solid technical understanding of Electronic and Electrical Engineering
• Analytical, problem-solving, and collaborative skills
• Access to state-of-the-art software and instruments in extensive teaching laboratories
• Opportunities to broaden horizons through interactions and projects with students from other engineering disciplines

Teaching and Learning

Modules are taught through a combination of innovative and traditional methods, including scenario-based learning, lectures, tutorials, and project supervision sessions. The number of contact hours per week varies, but students can expect around 18 to 21 contact hours in a typical week in the first year, with a similar amount of time needed for self-directed study.

Assessment

The majority of modules are examined in the summer term of each year, with a proportion of the total mark allocated for laboratory and coursework.

Employability

Graduates of this program have diverse career opportunities in the electronics and IT sectors, as well as in financial or trading institutions. The program also provides a firm foundation for further study towards a postgraduate Master's or PhD qualification.

Accreditation

The BEng program is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng).
