Career opportunities

There is a recognised shortage of qualified electrical/ electronic engineers in the UK. A qualification in the field will make you instantly attractive to employers as a result. You will have the skills to contribute to the design and development of electronic systems and processes. Employment opportunities exist in the aerospace industry in aircraft instrumentation systems (technician or engineer level) or in the armed forces

Accreditation

Degrees accredited by the Engineering Council through one of the UK professional engineering institutions off er you a fast-track route towards Chartered Engineer status, a world renowned qualifi cation. To become a Chartered Engineer you will need to graduate from an accredited BEng (Hons) course with further learning, or complete our MEng course, before completing the necessary engineering experience requirements.

Entry requirements and applying

BEng

The academic requirement for this honours degree is 240 UCAS tariff points at GCE A Level or Equivalent. (To include A level in mathematics or a relevant science subject or equivalent). Appropriate AS-Level and Level 3 Key Skills qualifications will also be taken into account.

BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering (4 years including foundation year*)

This is a new option. If you do not meet the entry requirements for the three-year honours degree you should consider this option. The engineering department and the University have created a “kick-start year” for students to study for one year before joining the honours degree.

Students have the opportunity to study these courses as a four-year degree including a foundation year. If you do not meet the entry requirements for the three-year bachelors degree you should consider this degree. By incorporating a foundation year, we can bring you up to speed for the demands of a full three-year degree.

If you successfully complete the foundation year, you will be guaranteed a place on the full degree and will join as a first-year student. As the foundation year is not a stand-alone qualification, but part of a programme of study for an honours degree, UK students are eligible to apply for a student loan. The government fee grant for Welsh-domiciled students will also apply.
