Electronics and Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) - BEng (Hon)
Course Overview - Electronics and Electrical Engineering Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) - BEng (Hon)
Electronics and electrical engineers pioneer change in the modern technologies that underpin our world. From the tiny processors in smartphones, to the heavy-duty power electronics in wind turbines, they create more powerful, efficient and universal products, systems and materials, addressing the future needs of societies locally and across the globe.
Electronics is the study of circuits and devices that carry relatively small currents and voltages. It concerns the sensing, transduction and processing of data signals, in either digital or analogue forms.

Electronics and electrical engineers pioneer change in the modern technologies that underpin our world. From the tiny processors in smartphones, to the heavy-duty power electronics in wind turbines, they create more powerful, efficient and universal products, systems and materials, addressing the future needs of societies locally and across the globe.
Electronics is the study of circuits and devices that carry relatively small currents and voltages. It concerns the sensing, transduction and processing of data signals, in either digital or analogue forms.
Electrical engineering concerns much larger currents and voltages, usually for the purpose of generating and transmitting electrical power.
In an electronics and electrical engineering (EEE) degree programme, you will study both areas, with the opportunity to specialise in later years.
We deliver this content across three streams:
* electronics (for example, analogue, digital, microelectronics)
* information sciences (for example, communications, sensors, machine learning)
* power (for example, smart grids, machines, systems)
United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals
Based on our compulsory course material, this degree aligns with many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the top three being:
* SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
* SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
* SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Ties to industry
Our Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from prominent electronics and electrical engineering companies. This has, and continues to, influence our curriculum and programme development.
Many of our EEE courses benefit from industry collaboration, including a state-of-the-art electronics laboratory equipped with industry-standard measurement and testing equipment. We also regularly host guest lectures from experienced professionals in the EEE sector.
Programme benefits
* An enviable suite of facilities including specialist laboratories, student makerspaces and cutting-edge industry-standard equipment.
* Research-led teaching by internationally leading academics.
* Strong links to industry with excellent career prospects, industry relevant curriculum and internships.
* A balanced curriculum covering theoretical and practical skills and individual and group work.
