What you study
Study for a career at the highest level of engineering, on a well-respected course designed to put you on the path to chartered engineer status. If you are interested in how and why things work, we can help you develop the problem-solving skills and knowledge needed to answer these questions.
You study a range of electrical and electronic engineering specialisms, including the design and implementation of
- electronic systems
- embedded systems
- networks using communications and signal processing techniques
- appropriate engineering management
- instrumentation and control systems
Key areas include ¥ electrical and electronic systems ¥ control and instrumentation ¥ embedded systems ¥ communications ¥ signal processing ¥ appropriate engineering management.
You also benefit from working to deadlines for real time demonstrations and investigative project work.
Placements and work experience
Industry fully supports the course with ¥ work placements ¥ course planning ¥ visits ¥ real projects ¥ case studies ¥ guest lectures. This connection with industry helps to increase your career opportunities and employability. You work alongside practising engineers who are industry-sponsored students studying part-time.
The industrial sponsors include companies such as ¥ Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd ¥ BAE Systems ¥ Associated British Ports (ABP) ¥ BP Chemicals ¥ Bombardier Transportation UK Ltd.
The course is designed to show you how academic theory, simulation and case studies connect with practical project work. Students enjoy using high level instrumentation in our laboratories. This builds your confidence in testing, design prototyping and investigative projects.
