Course summary
Electrical engineers design and develop new technologies to generate and process power. The equipment they design is used to distribute electrical energy (including 'Smart Grid' technologies for renewable energy sources), and also supports many manufacturing industries.
Electrical engineering technologies now enable hybrid and electric vehicles, trains, ships and even aircraft.
Our course will give you the specialist electrical knowledge and skills that will help you be part of a more sustainable future. Through lab-based projects, working individually and in small teams, you'll learn essential problem solving and design skills.
By bringing together your numerical, analytical and technical knowledge, you will be confident in creating engineering solutions that industry are looking for.
All our electrical and electronic courses have the same content in year one and two so by year three, you can choose to specialise in the topics that interest you.
As a BEng graduate, there are many options available to you. You can choose to register with the Engineering Council as an Incorporated Engineer or progress to Chartered Engineer status.
Modules
All our electrical and electronic courses have the same content in year one and two so by year three, you can choose the topics that interest you.
In your second year, you will continue to improve your understanding of electrical engineering, and your design skills will be developed through a variety of laboratory-based subjects.
In your third year, you can choose from a range of specialist topics to follow a wide path, or focus on specific technologies.
Through lectures, group study and tutorials combined with coursework and self-study, you may spend over 40 hours a week on your studies.

Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
We consider applicants solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential – we use exam grades to prioritise applicants but look at a range of factors and aim to give everyone an equal opportunity to show their achievements.
We understand that background and personal circumstances can have an impact on academic performance at school or college. Applicants who are eligible under our contextual admissions policies may be considered for a reduced contextual offer.
