Electronics and telecommunications enhance the lives of everyone - from a baby's heart monitor to a power station, from worldwide communication to the chips in your computer.
Our BEng and MEng courses are fully accredited by the Institution of Electrical Engineers, IEE. They therefore fulfil the appropriate parts of the requirements for Chartered Engineer status.
All courses have a core set of subjects, allowing you to specialise further in electrical subjects, or go more deeply into telecommunications or Internet applications.
Course content includes analogue, digital and solid-state electronics, power electronics, electronic materials, telecommunications, and electromagnetics, with in-depth study of mathematics and computing in the context of electrical engineering. Practical skills in designing, making and testing are developed through laboratory work and computer-aided design, with a substantial group project in year two and an individual project in your final year.
In the BEng final year you study options covering signals and systems theory, satellite communications and telecommunications networks, radio frequency and microwave design, digital and mobile communications, telecommunications, quality engineering and power electronics.
The extra MEng year provides further breadth and depth to your studies.

Course content is very similar to EEE, with a greater emphasis on telecommunications in the final year. The first year of study is common to both programmes.

Those without the required qualifications can consider our engineering foundation year. This brings your mathematics and physics skills up to the level required for the normal first year of our courses. See Our Engineering Foundation page.
The Electromechanical Technology course integrates electronics and microcomputer control with mechanical technology and in the design and application of advanced systems and processes. The BSc in Electromechanical Technology aims to provide the skills base and associated understanding, equipping you for a professional career in this rapidly growing field within the electronics, mechanical and mechatronics industries.

Our three-year and four-year BEng and BSc courses have the same academic content, but the four-year placement course includes a year of integrated professional training in industry. The MEng courses can be taken over a four- or five-year period, depending on whether you take a year of industrial training.
As part of a placement year course you will gain 12 months of practical experience, working as a paid employee of an approved organisation. The industrial year enables you to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems, learn about work practices and helps you make a more informed choice of your final-year project topic and area of specialisation.
We help you obtain your industrial placements, and satisfactory completion results in the additional award of a Diploma of Industrial Studies.
The optional placement year provides you with an increased prospect of sponsorship and enhanced graduate employment opportunities.
Assessment is by a combination of written examination and coursework, including laboratory work. Practical skills and design ability are also assessed. The final-year project is a significant factor in determining your final degree classification.
We have an excellent graduate employment record, and 90% of our 2006 Electronics and Telecommunications graduates were in employment or further study within six months of graduating. Most of our graduates have found work in directly related industries and by the final year many of our graduates have gained sponsorship, and most of these join their sponsoring firm after graduation.
Past graduates have found employment with firms such as BT Cellnet, Ericsson, Filtronic Comtec, Motorola and NTL – in posts including graduate engineer, design engineer, network operator, and electrical engineer.
"The University has a broad range of modules which
means I could have applied to companies in the telecommunications industry.
In addition, the placements are well related to the course. The lecturers
are very experienced in their subject. I was impressed with the way they
stimulated the students in the lectures, which is often the most important
thing when taking a degree."
