Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with Industrial Placement)

UCAS code: H611

Here's what University of Hull says about its Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with Industrial Placement) course.

Accredited by the Engineering Council and Institution of Engineering and Technology, our Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree lets you explore and address society’s current challenges.

Study smart power, process control and remote sensing in our up-to-the-minute facilities, including robotics labs and our FabLab with 3D printers, laser scanners and cutters, and CNC machines.

Outside of studying, you can join our Hull Electric Racing Team (HERT). You’ll work as a group to build and test a racing car, enjoying exclusive access to our F1 simulator. And when you’re ready to race, you’ll compete against other teams at Silverstone.

Like all our Engineering courses, this course shares a common first year, which means you can choose to switch to a different pathway in your second year. On our five-year Integrated Masters (MEng) with Placement Year option, you study a year at postgraduate level and spend a year in industry gaining real-world experience on top of your degree.

The Humber is home to over 350 engineering companies, so you’ll be in a prime spot to access a range of placements. And by studying a Masters, you'll further extend the depth and breadth of your knowledge and earn an MEng qualification. This fully meets the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer status, which opens even more doors to future employment and research opportunities.

Why study at Hull?

• Train using industry-standard facilities: From our F1 racing simulator to our robotics labs, our facilities will give you a competitive edge when it comes to showcasing your skills and experience to employers.

• 100% employability: A perfect 100% of our graduates are in work or further study 15 months after graduating,¹ putting the hands-on experience they gained here to good use.

• You’re entering Chartered territory: Our MEng degree is accredited by the Engineering Council and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and fully meets the academic requirements for becoming a Chartered Engineer.

Where could this take me?

Electronic and electrical systems are always evolving, but the skills you’ll learn on this degree will set you up to keep pace, whatever your chosen career.

Talented engineers are in high demand. Our graduates have chosen to work in product design, development and manufacturing, as technical advisors to marketing teams, in patent offices, and as professional Chartered Engineers. The choice is yours.

And with an MEng degree, you’ll have the qualification you need to register as a Chartered Engineer, which opens up even more career opportunities and possibilities
