Electronics & Electrical Engineering with Communications (dual degree with UESTC) BEng
The Electronics & Electrical Engineering degree structure is wide ranging, so that your future career can span anything from power engineering to micro-electronics, radar installations to digital systems. We emphasise fundamental principles and how to apply them to solve practical engineering problems. Even in the early years when you are mastering basic engineering and mathematics, you will use what you have learned to design and construct useful devices.

Programme structure
This Joint Educational Programme aims to integrate a rigorous foundation in mathematics and electronic engineering with a stream of independent project work that runs throughout all four years.
+++
Years 1 and 2
In the first year, you will spend most of your time learning the underlying mathematics, physics and engineering skills, as well as an introduction to the applications of analogue and digital electronics. The curriculum in the second year concentrates on the fundamentals of electronic engineering with applications to modern embedded microelectronic systems and is supported by an electronic design project.

+++
Year 3
In the third year, you will mature as an Electronics & Electrical Engineer, studying the full range of subjects from electronic devices to power engineering – with a challenging team design project to bring these topics together.
---
+++
Year 4
The fourth year includes the major individual project, which you can select from a wide range of options, with themes that include Control, Digital Communication, Digital Signal Processing, and VLSI Design. This degree programme is broadly based to prepare you for a wide range of professional careers. As a graduate engineer you will be able to deal with anything from mechatronics to microelectronics, and communication systems to digital systems.
