Program Overview

Learn about the design, fabrication and use of a wide range of electronics, circuits, devices and power systems.

Your study will take in:

electrical machines and power systems such as wind turbines and the national grid
electronic devices, circuits and systems such as lasers, microprocessors and computers
communication devices and systems such as radio frequency (RF) antennae and 5G mobile networks.

At the end of your second year you can choose an area to specialise in or continue with the more general electrical and electronic engineering, which is our most popular course.

The degree streams that you can choose from are:

electrical engineering
electronic engineering
electronic and communications engineering
semiconductor photonics and electronics
electrical and electronic engineering.

In your third year you'll carry out your own research project, supervised by an academic.

You'll spend your fourth year working full time for an engineering company. This is a great opportunity to put what you have learnt into context while gaining additional skills and experience to enhance your career prospects.

In your final year, you will work as part of a multidisciplinary team on a research project led by an academic, with industry input.
