Electronic Engineering (including Year Abroad) – (B.Sc.)

The content of our BEng Electronic Engineering (including Year Abroad) is identical to our BEng Electronic Engineering, except that you spend an additional year at an overseas partner institution. You cover a variety of topics within the area of modern electronic engineering and we emphasise electronic systems rather than electronic devices, and particularly aim our course at those who wish to become electronic systems designers rather than specialists in semiconductors and semiconductor devices. We include the study of computer software and processors, as well as traditional topics such as circuit design (analogue and digital), audio and video, signal processing and data communications. Alongside this, your year abroad provides you with an unparalleled experience of life in a different country.

All students taking our BEng courses can apply to be student members of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. If you join as a student member you will be automatically transferred to the class of Member of the IET (MIEE) when you graduate. After some further study (for example an MSc) and a number of years in a responsible position (meaning you will typically be in your early thirties), you can apply to be become a Chartered Engineer.
