BEng Electrical Engineering
About this course
BEng (Hons) Electrical Engineering is an undergraduate degree in electrical and electronic engineering that focuses on technical principles and practical applications. Core topics include Systems Design, Control Systems, Engineering Design, and Ethics & Professional Practice. Designed in line with the AHEP-4 framework, the programme incorporates extensive laboratory work and features an individual project in the final year alongside a placement opportunity. The first year introduces foundational principles through Engineering Maths, Core Engineering Skills and Application, Fundamentals of Electrical Engineering, and Engineering Design and CAD. The second year advances into specialized technical content via Power, Distribution and System Design, Industrial Communication Protocols, Industrial Automation and PLCs, and Control System Diagnostics, supported by the Engineering Design Project. The final year concludes the curriculum with Electrical Modelling and Simulation, Digital Communication Techniques, Power and Electrical Machines, Professional Practice, and a major individual Project.
