Electronics and Electrical Engineering

In the early years of the degree, we teach a solid foundation of electronics and electrical engineering. Our courses are designed to improve your technical, team-working and problem-solving skills. In later years, our degree gives you the flexibility to study specialist courses in areas you are most interested in.

Electronics and electrical engineers pioneer change in the modern technologies that underpin our world. From the tiny processors in smartphones, to the heavy-duty power electronics in wind turbines, they create more powerful, efficient and universal products, systems and materials, addressing the future needs of societies locally and across the globe. Electronics is the study of circuits and devices that carry relatively small currents and voltages.

It concerns the sensing, transduction and processing of data signals, in either digital or analogue forms. Electrical engineering concerns much larger currents and voltages - usually for the purpose of generating and transmitting electrical power. In an electronics and electrical engineering (EEE) degree programme, you will study both areas with the opportunity to specialise in later years.
