About this course

BEng (Hons) in Electronics and Electrical Engineering, an electrical and electronic engineering degree focused on hardware, systems and power technology. Core topics include Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Data Analysis, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The curriculum is influenced by an Industrial Liaison Board and incorporates guest lectures from industry professionals alongside practical work in a laboratory equipped with standard measurement and testing equipment. The first year covers general engineering, mathematics, electronics and electrical engineering alongside problem-solving skills and teamwork. The second year introduces analogue circuits, digital systems, microelectronics, power engineering and signal processing. The third year builds competence through electromagnetics and photonics, control and instrumentation engineering, microelectronics and digital systems design, analogue mixed signal labs, embedded software, and electrical machines. The fourth year advances into analogue electronics, bioelectronics, digital electronics, power engineering, radio-frequency engineering, signals and communications, and software, data analysis and machine learning.
