All the skills you develop are building blocks for what you require in later years. It really helps you to build the necessary skills to go out into the industry.

Ryan, BEng Electrical & Electronic Engineering graduate

Read Ryan's story

In year one the course focuses on learning engineering principles and practices, as well as computing skills and principles of design, relating to a wide range of engineering disciplines.

You will then progress on to further develop knowledge in the principles of the field and engineering management. You will implement practical solutions across a range of applied applications and develop your skills in lateral problem solving and innovative thinking.

In year four you will undertake an individual, industry-focused research project to help you gain the project management skills needed by professional engineers and gain advanced technical understanding of the design, control and integration of electrical power, embedded systems and electronic digital systems.

In your final year you will have the opportunity to develop your team-working skills through a multidisciplinary group project. You will also gain enhanced skills in areas of digital signal processing, communication electronics and distributed power systems.
