Course Description

Our courses help you develop the graduate capabilities that employers value. You learn to communicate effectively, orally and in writing. You develop strong analytical, numerical and ICT skills, learn to work as part of a team and on your own, and know how to manage your time effectively and meet deadlines. You develop your critical thinking abilities, and become more adaptable and agile in your thinking. We stimulate your imagination through coursework and project work, while specialist modules enable you to acquire all the technical knowledge and skills needed to have a positive influence on society as a professional twenty-first century engineer. Your third year spent on placement also adds significantly to your profile as you will have secured a placement in a competitive market, completed the placement, and reflected on your experience. In addition, our BEng Electronic Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). Our graduates are equipped to work at a professional level in electronics and telecommunications, often in design engineering but also in other professional areas such as production management. Our graduates are also highly sought after outside the field of electronics because of their high-level mathematical skills. Recent graduates of our BEng Electronic Engineering are now employed as an embedded software engineering with the Mclaren Formula One team, as an embedded systems engineer at B&W Group and as an inside sales engineering and team leader at National Instruments.
