Switch on your career in electrical and electronic engineering at The University of Manchester. Were home to one of the largest departments dedicated to the subject in the UK, have fantastic links with industry, and have taught the discipline here since 1905. More than 100 years later, we continue to help solve the days biggest energy problems.<br/><br/>The use of electricity, for example, is fundamental to modern life. Without a secure supply, society in its current form would collapse. Consequently, the importance of efficient and sustainable generation, secure distribution, and intelligent user devices cannot be overstated. This will be a lifetime challenge facing the next generation - and electrical and electronic engineers have a vital role to play..<br/><br/>Spending a year in industry will not only develop your business, team working and transferable skills - all highly sought-after by employers - it will also highlight the broad range of careers on offer to you and guide your choice of subject options. Youll place yourself in a great position to move your career forward.

Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate - PrincipalD3,D3,D3 D3 in three Principal subjects, including Mathematics and either Physics, Further Mathematics or Chemistry. We also consider applicants offering Pre-U Principal Subjects, or a mix of Pre-U and A-level subjects, in three distinct subjects. The University welcomes and recognises the value of the Cambridge Pre-U Global Perspectives and Research (GPR) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. However, the qualification will not form part of your offer conditions. Extended ProjectThe University recognises the benefits of the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and the opportunities it provides for applicants to develop independent study and research skills. Although the Extended Project will not be included in the conditions of your offer, we strongly encourage you to provide information about the EPQ in your personal statement and at interview. A number of our academic Departments may also choose to take your performance in the EPQ into account should places be available in August for applicants who narrowly miss the entry grades for their chosen course. Welsh Baccalaureate - Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate (first teaching September 2015)The University welcomes and recognises the value of the Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Diploma/Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate and requires two A Levels including Maths and one Science subject to be included within this. The minimum grade required will normally be the same as the lowest grade listed in the A Level entry requirements. Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate (first teaching from September 2016)D We consider the National Extended Certificate for entry in any subject at D provided it is in combination with two GCE A Levels at grades AA including A in Mathematics and A in any of the following: Physics, Electronics, Chemistry, Computer Science or Further Mathematics.
