You choose your own degree through a blend of core and optional modules and a major project. Levels one and two are the same for all courses, after which you'll specialise based on your interests. You're generally not tied to the degree you originally registered for. Core topics in this broad course include power systems, power electronics, electrical machines and drives, motion control systems and energy utilisation. Your study will cover theoretical and practical aspects of electrical engineering. You'll choose optional modules from our other degrees, depending on your interests. Modules: what you study and when Financial help from the University - bursaries If you're a UK student, you could be entitled to a University bursary. A bursary is the same as a grant - you don't have to pay it back. Find out how much you could get How our bursary scheme works Entry requirements Qualification Grades A Levels ABB including Maths and either Physics, Chemistry or Electronics International Baccalaureate 34 points, 6 in Higher Level Maths and either Physics, Chemistry or Electronics BTEC DDM in a relevant subject including Distinction in Further Maths.

We work with industry to develop our courses so you graduate with the right skills and the right knowledge. Our expertise is respected all over the world. The Rolls-Royce Technology Centre for Advanced Electrical Machines and Drives and the Sheffield-Siemens Wind Power Research centre are based here. Our department is also home to the EPSRC National Centre for III-V Technologies. What our graduates do Our graduates work in electrical, electronic, software, systems, information and manufacturing engineering. They take challenging roles in research, design, development and testing, management, production, marketing and sales. Many join the larger electronics companies, but there are other engineering options, as well as non-technical jobs in the business world. Student profile "The skills we get are not just practical. They're project management, team working and leadership skills. You can go on to use those skills through your career." Andrew Frost Electronic and Electrical Engineering Any questions?

You can talk to staff and students, tour the campus and see inside the accommodation. Book your place Department open days Before we offer you a place on a course, you'll be invited to a department open day and an informal interview. Our open days are held between October and March. Campus Tours Campus tours run regularly throughout the year, at 1pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Campus tours - find out more and book a place online How to apply Make sure you've done everything you need to do before you apply: Read our How to apply information When you're ready to apply, see the UCAS website: www.ucas.com Industrial experience Second-year students have the chance to work on real industrial problems through the pioneering Sheffield Industrial Project Scheme. You can apply your knowledge to engineering problems at level three with a major project in direct collaboration with an academic supervisor from one of our research groups. An industrial placement, either during the vacation or as a year out, will complement your studies. The University¿s Careers Service can advise you how to find these, or you may have an arrangement with a sponsor. Sponsorship Many of our undergraduates are sponsored in some way, often by their employers. We can arrange either deferred entry or a year out during the course if required.
