Program Overview

BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering with a Year in Industry

2026 entry

Course summary

Electrical and electronic engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines and uses cutting-edge technology to address some of the major concerns of the modern world. There is a growing demand for skilled graduates to work in industries such as consumer electronics, alternative energy and transport, medical engineering, and communications.

This degree provides the opportunity to spend your third year in an industrial environment applying the knowledge gained in your first two years of study. There is no direct entry to this course but you can transfer from BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering after year two if you reach a high academic standard and are successful at interview with industry. Places are limited and highly competitive.

Years one and two provide a strong grounding in mathematics, computing, analogue and digital electronics, communications, electromagnetics, electronic systems, and control. Year four includes a group design project and specialist units in electrical, electronic and communication subjects.

Through our close collaboration with the industry, you will benefit from excellent employment prospects. Recent graduate employers include Intel, BBC, Dyson, Jaguar Land Rover, Siemens, Hewlett-Packard, EDF Energy and many others.

Following substantial changes to the degree programme to bring it in alignment with current technology and the skills which are most desirable to potential employers it will have to undergo a formal reaccreditation process, and this can only occur once the first cohort completes the new programme. However, we have a very successful track record of achieving accreditation from the IET for all our programmes.
