This course has a common first year.

The common first year enables you to work alongside students doing similar courses to you, to widen your knowledge and exposure to other subject areas and professions. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other students, so you can share your insights and experience which will help you to develop and learn.

If you discover an interest in a specific subject you have studied, upon successful completion of your first year, you could swap degrees with another course in your common first year (subject to meeting progression requirements).

Common first year courses: Computer Systems Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons)

Year One Modules Electrical Programming and Applications Engineering Mathematics Analogue Circuit Design Electrical and Electronic Engineering Principles

Year Two Embedded Systems Design and Manufacturing Digital Circuits and Systems Design Electrical Engineering and Machines Signals and Systems

Sandwich year There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement2 can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final year of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future.

Final year Individual Project Design Power Electronics and Power Systems Signal Processing and Machine Learning

Optional modules: Choose one from the following two: Control Systems Communication Systems Engineering

Additional year Following on from successful completion of the BEng (Hons) course, you can opt to proceed to the Electrical and Electronic Engineering MEng master's. In this additional year, more advanced topics related to electrical and electronic engineering engineering will be investigated which is beyond the scope of undergraduate study. More advanced technology and their applications such as robotics, wireless intelligent systems and image processing technique will be investigated. You will also undertake a group based industrial project relevant to the modern engineering problems.
