About this course
**Overview**
Electrical and electronic engineers play a vital role in shaping the future of our society, in numerous sectors transport and power generation to heating and cooling and more. This course will develop your capacity for innovation, collaboration, and ingenuity to help you tackle society’s biggest challenges.
You’ll follow an integrated programme for the first year, giving you the knowledge, skills, and industrial connections to support your aspirations. From the second year, you’ll specialise in electrical and electronic engineering, refining your theoretical knowledge and practical skills. You’ll spend your third year in industry, applying your learning in a practical context, before returning to UEA to complete your studies.
From day one, you’ll have access to industry-standard facilities in Productivity East, including computer aided design (CAD) stations, 3D printers, subtractive manufacturing technology, and several collaborative robots (or cobots). In the electronics lab, you’ll conduct practical experiments on our electrical machine test rigs and learn how to model and analyse different engineering systems using industry-standard software.
You’ll benefit from our connections with industry right from the start of your course. Our annual Select Partnership Scheme is an exclusive event for engineering students, attracting several prestigious employers each year. Connections made at previous Select events have resulted in internships and offers of graduate employment.
Studying electrical and electronic engineering at UEA means you’ll graduate with a rounded skillset and deep-rooted understanding of your chosen discipline. What’s more, you’ll be supported by an award-winning careers service throughout your course, and for three years after you graduate.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
This is one of the more popular areas to study engineering and there is not quite such a serious shortage of electrical engineers as there is of other engineering subjects - but there's still plenty of demand. The most common jobs are in telecommunications, electrical and electronic engineering, but there is some crossover with the computing industry, so many graduates start work in IT and computing jobs. At the moment, there's a particular demand for electrical engineers in the electronics, and the car and aerospace industries, and also in defence, and salaries can vary across the country depending on the industry you start in. Bear in mind that a lot of courses are four years long, and lead to an MEng qualification — this is necessary if you want to become a Chartered Engineer.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.
