Electronics equipment and products are becoming a vital part of our daily lives, from simple MP3 players, mobile phones and computers to highly sophisticated diagnostic equipment used in hospitals and state-of the-art fibre optic communications systems. This is a traditional and broad-based course which aims to produce well-rounded engineers with a high level of analytical and engineering design skills. From calculators to supercomputers, from telephones to global satellite communications, from dynamos to the national grid, you will gain key knowledge and understanding. As well as an invaluable overview of this field, you will also have the opportunity to specialise in Communications Systems in your final year. Our undergraduate electronics degrees have a common first year during which you will study all of the main specialisms. Based on your own personal learning experiences of these subjects, you will be able to re-evaluate your original degree choice at this level and switch to a related course if you want.

Computers have had a tremendous impact on every facet of our lives at home and work, in leisure and in communication creating an unprecedented demand for engineers able to design reliable, efficient computer systems. Our graduates can pursue opportunities in diverse fields such as finance, leisure, media and marketing as well as in all forms of engineering and in the computer industries. There is a relaxed and friendly relationship between students and staff and we take a genuine interest and pride in the success of our students and graduates. This, together with acknowledged high quality teaching and resources, results in an excellent record of employment amongst our graduates.
