Electronic Engineering

Electronic engineering is the discipline concerned with the design and development of electronic circuits, systems, and devices, from the microprocessors that run computing systems to the communication circuits that carry signals across networks. It underpins the technology sector in its entirety, providing the hardware foundations on which software and digital services run. Electronic engineers design the integrated circuits, sensors, power electronics, and communication systems that make modern life possible.

This three-year full-time degree at the University of Bedfordshire holds accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology and fully meets the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer. The IET accreditation is a professionally significant feature, confirming that the programme meets the standards set by the engineering profession and giving graduates a recognised academic qualification for professional registration. You will study electronic circuit theory, digital systems, microprocessors, signal processing, control systems, and telecommunications, developing both the theoretical understanding and the practical skills that professional electronic engineering requires.

The typical entry tariff of 72 points makes the programme accessible to a broad range of applicants.

Electronic engineering graduates are in consistent demand across the technology sector. Roles in circuit design, embedded systems engineering, telecommunications, power electronics, control systems, defence, consumer electronics, and semiconductor manufacturing are all common career destinations. The IET-accredited qualification provides a recognised foundation for progression to Incorporated Engineer status, and with further experience and professional development, many graduates go on to pursue Chartered Engineer registration.

Postgraduate study in electronic engineering, communications, power electronics, or related fields is available for those who wish to specialise further or pursue research. The accessible entry tariff and the professional accreditation together make this programme a strong choice for those entering engineering from a range of starting points.
