Course Overview

Our four-year BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Foundation Year offers essential knowledge and practical skills needed for a professional career in engineering. 

The Foundation Year offers an excellent grounding in the fundamentals of engineering, electronics and mathematics. You will explore various engineering subjects, including mechanics, mathematics and electrical/electronic engineering. This will prepare you for the ever-increasing cross-disciplinary nature of engineering.  

Alongside developing your skillset, we will help you build lifelong learning skills so that you can reflect on, articulate and transfer them to everyday life in order to maximise your success. You will also be able to choose from several optional modules in your final year, which include renewable energies and advanced embedded systems, amongst others.  

This programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council.
