Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Electrical Engineering (H62A) (Industrial Year)

Electrical engineers design and develop new technologies to generate and process power. The equipment they design is used to distribute electrical energy (including 'Smart Grid' technologies for renewable energy sources), and also supports many manufacturing industries.

Electrical engineering technologies now enable hybrid and electric vehicles, trains, ships and even aircraft.

Our course will give them the specialist electrical knowledge and skills that will help them be the part of a more sustainable future. Through lab-based projects, working individually and in small teams, they'll learn essential problem solving and design skills.

They will spend year three in industry. They can apply for placements available to students on their course or can agree their own placement with an appropriate company. During their industrial year, they remain fully registered with the University, with regular meetings with their tutor.

By bringing together their numerical, analytical and technical knowledge, they will be confident in creating engineering solutions that industry are looking for.

All our electrical and electronic courses have the same content in year one and two so by year three, they can choose to specialize in the topics that interest them.

As a BEng graduate, there are many options available to them. they can choose to register with the Engineering Council as an Incorporated Engineer or progress to Chartered Engineer status.

Our course will give them with the required engineering expertise for either a career in industry or in a variety of other professions.
