Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Overview

Commercial products today combine many technologies, and industry is increasingly interdisciplinary. As a result there is a demand from employers for engineers with a broad knowledge but also with a deep understanding of several subjects. This course meets this demand and has been developed to provide engineers with an interdisciplinary knowledge base in modern electronics, including power, communications, control and embedded processors.

This course will appeal to people with a wide range of interests in electronics and communications, people who are generalists as well as specialists. It will also suit those who are interested in modern communications techniques, radio propagation, cellular mobile systems, control systems, power and drives, and modern system-on-a-chip technology.

Entry Requirements

A degree equivalent to a UK upper second class honours (2.1) degree or higher in an appropriate numerate discipline usually electronic engineering, but others may be considered.

A pass at GCSE level in English Language (grade C or above). International students must have an English language qualification at a suitable level, for example IELTS 6.0 or equivalent.

Career Options

Graduates of this course can expect to find jobs where industry needs a breadth of knowledge matched by a depth in certain areas. Such people will be well equipped to integrate and co-ordinate the stands of a cross-disciplinary project and manage the interfaces between specialities. Such engineers would expect to progress to project management in companies working at the cutting edge of modern multi-faceted systems.
