Harnessing the powers of electricity and electromagnetism began in earnest over two hundred years ago and has transformed the way humans live. From the light bulb to the internet, it is impossible to imagine a world without electricity and electronics. A modern integrated circuit may contain several billion miniaturised transistors in a few square centimetres and is capable of doing the most extraordinary things. This digital revolution offers limitless possibilities for those with the right knowledge and toolset - electronic and electrical engineers. Electronic and Electrical Engineering is integral to and embedded in the smooth functioning of our everyday lives. From mobile phones and computing, through to household gadgets, healthcare equipment, automotive and aerospace technology and on to transport infrastructure, defence and utility provision, there is hardly an aspect of the modern world that does not rely on systems and components designed and integrated by Electronic and Electrical Engineers.

Our graduates are highly employable and sought after by a range of companies in many sectors. Recent employers include: Network Rail, Apple, Qinetiq, Selex, Siemens, BT, Ericsson, BAE Systems, npower, Goodrich, Toyota, E.ON, Rolls-Royce, ARM, National Instruments and many others. Some of our students also find positions with finance houses or management consultants such as Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers. The Government’s first destination statistics for the last three years indicate that almost 90% of our graduates, on average, are in professional employment six months after graduating.
