BEng This is an enhanced Honours degree programme, normally taking three years. All BEng students are normally required to complete at least 12 weeks of approved industrial training before graduating. The BEng is also offered incorporating a sandwich year in industry. This professional experience year is usually taken after Stage 2 and students may gain a Licentiateship of the City & Guilds from this period of work. Transfer from BEng to MEng is possible at the end of Stage 2, subject to satisfactory performance. Stage 1 Circuits and Communications Computing for Engineers Design Projects Electrical Engineering Electronic Circuits and Devices Mathematics Stage 2 and Stage 3 A choice of subjects is offered, including: Communications Computer Architecture Computer Communications Control Electrical Machines Integrated Circuits Microprocessors Power Systems Signal Processing Software Engineering Virtual Reality MEng This four-year extended engineering degree has been established to provide an adequate supply of well-qualified engineers with an appropriate blend of engineering knowledge and skills in business practice and management. There is a core component of entrepreneurship, giving key insights into company creation. Most of the material in the first two years is common with the BEng degree. The subjects offered in Stage 4 include: Advanced Circuit Design Advanced Microelectronics Energy Systems Intelligent Systems and Control Mobile Communications Real-time DSP

There is a shortage of electrical and electronic engineers, not only locally in Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, but worldwide, so employment prospects are excellent. The employment rate for graduates of this degree from Queen's in 2011 was 90% (percentage employed in a graduate level job within 6 months of graduating). Overview Studying for an Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree at Queen’s will assist you in developing the core skills and employment-related experiences that are valued by employers, professional organisations and academic institutions. Graduates from this degree at Queen’s are well regarded by many employers (local, national and international) and over half of all graduate jobs are now open to graduates of any discipline, including Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Although the majority of our graduates are interested in pursuing careers in engineering significant numbers develop careers in a wide range of other sectors. The following is a list of the major career sectors (and some starting salaries) that have attracted our graduates in recent years:
