Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Electrical and electronic engineering is one of the foundational disciplines of the modern world. Every device that uses electricity, from a power grid to a smartphone, a wind turbine to a medical scanner, exists because of the principles and techniques that electrical and electronic engineers have developed, refined, and applied. The field encompasses everything from the generation and distribution of energy to the design of circuits, sensors, communications systems, and intelligent control systems.
At Wrexham University, this three-year full-time programme places you at the forefront of emerging technologies in the engineering field. You will study the fundamental principles of electrical and electronic engineering, including circuit theory, signal processing, power systems, and control engineering, while also engaging with cutting-edge applications in areas such as renewable energy, transport systems, aerospace, and robotics. The course is accredited by the Engineering Council, which means the qualifications you gain are recognised by industry and provide a pathway toward professional engineering status.
The degree includes a foundation year option for students who want to build their technical and mathematical preparation before entering the main programme. The typical entry tariff is 88 UCAS points.
Graduates of electrical and electronic engineering programmes are in demand across a wide range of industries. Power and energy, telecommunications, automotive and aerospace engineering, consumer electronics, defence, and healthcare technology all need qualified engineers with the skills this degree develops. Many graduates pursue roles in design, systems integration, testing, and project management, while others go on to postgraduate study or research in areas such as power electronics, embedded systems, or renewable energy technology.
The professional accreditation the course provides is an important step toward Incorporated or Chartered Engineer status for those who seek it.
