Electrical and electronic engineers are at the forefront of the challenges to connect our world, to design more efficient and affordable technology, to help us live healthily and sustainably.

Electrical and electronic engineering right now is characterised by its fast-evolving and interdisciplinary nature, driving innovation across unlimited applications, and making it such an exciting and rewarding place for creative and talented problem-solvers.

Today’s (and tomorrow’s) electrical engineers are often working at the intersection of many other disciplines – computer science, business and economics, biomedical, physics and materials, mathematics, sustainability and mechanics.

Our degree programmes are designed to give you room to explore the breadth of electrical and engineering topics, so you can take your time to choose a route that fits your developing skills and interests at every step.

You’ll choose a route that fits your developing interests and career plans, with modules led by our research strengths, and projects and coursework drawn from our latest research, focused on inspiring and supporting tomorrow’s industry-ready, creative engineers.

Students studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering learn how to design anything that involves electrons and electromagnetism, from transistors, sensors, actuators, wireless communication systems to electrical power systems and more. They also learn how to design algorithms and software for the next generation of autonomous and robotic systems, which extract information from data and make automatic decisions on how to interpret and react to this information.

The Department’s common first year programme gives all students the same solid academic grounding in the engineering skills and theory you’ll need for whichever route you choose next, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask all the questions to help you decide your next move.

A focus on highly practical lab work will help underpin your understanding of the theory. You will develop your programming skills by learning C++. Year two follows a core programme tailored to your chosen route, completing the fundamentals in analogue and digital electronics, power electronics, communications and control, alongside a strong focus on mathematics and computing.

In your third and final year, you’ll select from a number of more advanced technical modules, so you can choose to take a wide-ranging programme of study, or to concentrate your expertise in a particular field.

You’ll apply your knowledge and skills to increasingly ambitious project work throughout the course, ultimately showcasing your imagination, creativity and independent engineering expertise in a substantial final year project of your choice.
