Embedded systems are now used in an increasing number of industries. Complex applications range from aerospace, to hybrid vehicles and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in healthcare. To develop and manage these systems requires a good understanding of mathematics, electronics, engineering and computer programming. The shortage of professionals with this specialism means there are numerous opportunities across a range of industries for graduates in electronics and embedded systems.

There is high demand for graduates in electronic and computer engineering. Career opportunities are available in a wide range of industries, which include technology, manufacturing, transport and rail, and aviation. On graduation, you can go on to find work in areas such as: designing electronic and embedded systems. working on consumer technology. solving engineering problems for communication companies. You can also focus on a specific field of interest through studying for a postgraduate degree.
