If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. You'll need to demonstrate a high level of academic ability, either through study or work. Contact the admissions tutor for further information. Our courses are flexible. 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. This course will give you a thorough grounding in the knowledge and skills that underpin electronic engineering. Your study covers computer hardware, analogue circuits, communication systems, power electronics, semiconductor devices and optoelectronics. You'll learn how to control electrons to achieve an engineering objective like measurement or communication.

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.
