What you will study

Through a shared first year with our Electronic and Communication BEng(Hons) course, you will explore fundamental electrical and electronic engineering topics. Design projects integrate practical and theoretical work to help reinforce your learning. This module will introduce you to the concepts that underpin the disciplines of analogue and digital electronics, including the practical implementation and measurement of the performance of such systems. Areas covered include analogue electronics; op am circuits; oscillators; combinational logic design; and interfacing. Modules include Analogue and Digital Electronics, Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Practice, Embedded Systems 1, Introduction to Electrical Engineering, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Communication Networks, Electrical Engineering 2, Dynamics and Control, Embedded Systems 2.

Career pathways

Project work in groups with other engineering specialists develops your teamwork, project management, presentation and communication skills, giving you hands-on experience that mirrors industry. You will showcase your individual project to potential employers at the final year project exhibition.
