About this course

BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng, an electrical and electronic engineering degree centred on the technology that powers modern life. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Mathematical Modelling, Project Management, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The course includes a substantial individual project supervised by academic staff to demonstrate final-year competence. The first year covers foundational concepts through Group Project and Engineering Skills, Engineering Modelling and Mathematics, System Analysis and Machine Learning, Electric and Magnetic Circuits, and Analogue and Digital Electronics. The second year progresses to applied topics including Industrial and Design Projects, Control and Communication Systems, Electrical Energy Conversion, Embedded Systems Engineering, Applied Engineering Mathematics, and Analogue devices and circuits. Later studies involve core compulsory areas such as Individual Project, Energy Systems and Power Electronics, Electromagnetic Fields and Devices, Control Systems Design, and Integrated Electronic and Semiconductor Systems. Optional modules allow specialisation in subjects such as Machine Learning and Optimisation, Electronic and Photonic Devices, Industrial Automation and Digitalisation, Digital Signal Processing, Communication Systems, and Computer and AI System Architecture.
