Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Build the foundation of a smart, innovative, sustainable and connected future. You’ll create your own systems and graduate with the skills for the modern world.

Do things differently
Creating smart, sustainable solutions for a globally connected world requires tomorrow's engineers to see the world differently. We need engineers who can bring broader experience and listen to a variety of voices to address the challenges we all face. This means doing things differently.

This degree will give you the opportunity to design, test, and improve solutions within electronic and electrical engineering. Your work will address some of the biggest problems facing society today. Your creativity and technical skills will enable you to join a new generation of engineers.

As part of this course, you’ll:

• Understand how to design and build sustainable solutions using a wide range of electronic, embedded and control systems

• Work with engineers across a broad discipline, from electronics and electrical engineering, civil and building services engineering to computing, robotics, AI and data analysis

• Complete a significant project each year, where you can learn how to design, test and improve the answers to real problems

• Have the opportunity to complete a year in industry to build your practical workplace experience

Professionally recognised
