We’ll give you the chance to gain a broad overview of electronic engineering, as well as specialist skills in communications as the course progresses. We’ll also take a wider view to explore other areas of electrical, electronic and computer systems engineering.
The course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council. Once you graduate, you could become registered as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng). The course could also lead on to you gaining Chartered Engineer (CEng) status following further study.
If you achieve a yearly average grade of 60% or more during your first two years, there is a chance to transfer to the Electronic Engineering MEng integrated Master’s course.
Top-up Option This course is a one year course, designed for people who have already spent two years studying a related subject at university or higher education level. For instance, you might already have an HND in Electronic and Communication Engineering. If you’re interested not just in technology, but also in how that technology is managed and applied, then this course could be for you.
The course covers a mix of advanced technology and technology management modules. We’ll also encourage you to look at technology within the wider business, commercial and legal context.
Example modules
• Electronic Design Manufacture and Test • Computer Programming • Signal Analysis and Control • Communications
Your future
Previous graduates from courses in this subject area have gone on to work in
