Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Electronic and Electrical Engineering (Sandwich Year)

Program Description Nottingham Trent University believes in putting theoretical knowledge to the practical test by giving students the hands-on opportunities they need to really embed their skills. Students will have opportunities to take part in the industry Grand Challenge, go on a work placement and learn how to develop creative and effective solutions for engineering problems – these all go towards developing students as rounded, work ready engineering graduate.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without electronic and electrical engineering. It covers everything from tiny integrated circuits in household items and mobile phones, to the large-scale utilities that power our homes. The industry is fast paced and rapidly changing with a focus on renewable and sustainable energy sources. An electronic and electrical degree from NTU can put students at the forefront of this exciting technological revolution by providing the skills and knowledge needed to be a great engineer.

As well as building fundamental engineering skills, the course considers both the sustainability and environmental issues that are becoming increasingly important. Plus, students will be doing it all for real in Nottingham Trent University's rooftop renewable energy lab.

Recently students have worked on projects such as designing an energy harvester, reverse engineering everyday objects and using industry standard software packages to design integrated circuits.

Students will benefit from excellent teaching. Nottingham Trent University are in the top 10 in the UK for teaching quality in general engineering (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2021).

With the focus firmly on problem-solving and live project work, students will be given three to four years of industry experience before they graduate.

Please be advised that this program includes a sandwich year, which will be studied during the student's undergraduate degree.
