Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Electrical and electronic engineering encompasses an exciting range of topics from consumer products to sophisticated scientific industrial and healthcare technologies. Our degrees provide a thorough grounding in both the academic and practical aspects of electrical and electronic engineering. Our undergraduate courses provide opportunities for students to study a year abroad (normally during the second or third year) and we have close links with a range of industries, such as telecommunication, VLSI chip design and electrical machine industries. Industry experts advise on teaching and research and assist with curriculum development and many visit the department to recruit graduates, offer internships and placements and to give guest lectures.

The BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering (2+2, 4+0) is a four-year course. It has the broadest technical range of all our courses, allowing students to study a variety of topics including electronic design, communications, software engineering, computer modelling, microelectronics, power generation and distribution, electrical machines, signal processing, renewable energy systems and instrumentation. Multidisciplinary is definitely the word!
