BEng Hons Electrical and Electronic Engineering

at Manchester Metropolitan University

Year 1

During your first year, you will study the key principles and underlying science and mathematics of engineering. Your studies will cover the fundamentals of electricity and electrical circuits, as well as the properties and applications of electronic components in analogue and digital circuits. You will also practice the key technical and study skills that you will need for your future success. You will typically study the following units (the list of units is indicative and may be subject to change).

Core units
 

• Electrical Engineering Principles
• Project Skills
• Design Project
• Engineering Mathematics
• Electronic Engineering Principles
• Mechanical Engineering Principles
• Applied Mechanical Engineering Principles

Year 2

The centrepiece of the second year of this electrical and electronic engineering degree is a group project, working with students from your own and other courses on challenges set by industry experts, to give you experience of what it is like to work in a multi-disciplinary engineering team. Alongside this, you will develop your practical and analytical expertise through an in-depth study of your degree’s specialist technical topics. We will also help you take the first steps towards professional registration as you develop your career plan and we will encourage and support you to apply for a sandwich placement year to give you an early chance to put your learning into practice. You will typically study the following units (the list of units is indicative and may be subject to change).

Core units
 

• Professional Practice
• Digital Electronics
• Analogue Electronics
• Power Engineering
• Modelling And Simulation
• Control Engineering
• Group Design Project

Year 3

In the final year, you will study the latest developments and challenges in global engineering and your chosen specialist area, and you will choose a major individual project. You could be working directly with industrial experts, with your placement employer, or with one of our research groups. As you prepare to graduate, you will have the opportunity to present your work to employers and your invited guests in a degree show. You will typically study the following units (the list of units is indicative and may be subject to change).

Core units
 

• Advanced Digital Electronics
• Advanced Analogue Electronics
• Communications And Networks
• Advanced Power And Control
• Business And Operations Management
• Individual Project
• Project Design And Implementation

UK and Channel Islands full-time foundation year fee: £9,250 per year for the foundation year. This tuition fee is agreed subject to UK government policy and parliamentary regulation and may increase each academic year in line with inflation or UK government policy for both new and continuing students.

EU and Non-EU international full-time foundation year fee: £18,000 per year. When progressing from the pre-degree foundation year to the linked degree. Tuition fees will remain the same for each year of your course providing you complete it in the normal timeframe (no repeat years or breaks in study)

Our electrical and electronic engineering graduates occupy a variety of roles in engineering consultancies, manufacturing, aircraft design and manufacture, automotive and railway engineering, steel manufacturing, naval engineering, water companies, and the power and nuclear fuel industries.

Employers outside of engineering sectors also recognise the skills and problem-solving capacity of the engineering graduate, and there may be opportunities in sales, commissioning, finance, teaching and management, as well as roles managing technology to support a range of organisations.
