BEng Electronic Engineering
About this course
BEng (Hons) in Electronic Engineering, an Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree centred on the study of electronic devices, circuit principles, and modern engineering applications. Core topics include Programming, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Control Systems, Mathematical Modelling, and Entrepreneurship. The course runs over three years full-time, with alternative pathways including a four-year route with a foundation year and a six-year part-time study option. The first year covers foundational concepts through Applied Mathematics, Electronics Principles, Analogue and Digital Electronics, Manufacturing Principles, Microprocessor Systems, and Professional Engineering Skills. The second year progresses into advanced analysis and implementation with Applied Mathematics for Electronics, Electronic Circuits, Embedded Systems, Data Communications and Networks, Automation and Control Systems, and Competition and Contracts in Engineering. The final year focuses on advanced technical theory and independent project work, featuring compulsory modules in Electronic Circuit Design, Digital Signal Processing, Radio Systems, and the Final-Year Project, alongside optional modules in Business Strategy and Entrepreneurship.
