3-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate in Science and Health - Continue to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Electronic Engineering (Placement Year)

For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.

A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Electronic Engineering

On this course, students cover a wide spectrum of topics to help them become an electronics designer:

• Mathematical skills and software tools for problem-solving in engineering • Wireless Communication technology • The building blocks of complex digital systems • Analogue systems and circuit techniques • Computer simulations

The School is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Today’s electronic engineers are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental. They are home to many of the world’s top engineers, and their work is driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence.

Essex are Top 25 for electronic engineering (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2020), and more than two-thirds of our research rated “world-leading” or “internationally excellent” (REF 2014).

Students graduate as a creative, experimental, and focused engineer ready to explore further how electronics can impact the people and world around them.
