On this course, you’ll learn to design, develop and manufacture electronic equipment and devices that could have a significant impact on the world. Develop your knowledge of the theory and design of electronics while putting theory into practice in our extensive facilities.

You can study this course as a 3-year Bachelor's degree (BEng) or a 4-year integrated Master's degree (MEng).When you finish the BEng course successfully, you'll meet the educational requirements for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status. Once you've met the work experience requirements for IEng status, you can progress to Chartered Engineer status (CEng) with further study and experience.The MEng allows you to achieve a Master’s level degree with just one extra year of undergraduate study. When you finish the MEng course successfully, you'll meet the educational requirements for Chartered Engineer status (CEng).IEng and CEng status demonstrate your expertise and can include benefits such as improved career prospects and earning potential.

- Use the latest equipment for analysing and measuring electronics, including logic analysers, spectrum analysers, digital scopes and multi-function generators- Work with analogue and digital components such as microprocessors, microcontrollers and programmable devices- Use experimental kits, such as ServoSET servo-mechanism (which helps you learn how to stabilise systems) and superheterodyne radio receivers (which help you understand the principles of radio receiver operation)- Get student membership of the Institute of Engineering and Technology, at no cost to you – giving you access to practical, technical and career-related resources, and opportunities to build links with prospective employers- Work on a multidisciplinary group project to get the practical experience sought by employers when you choose the 4-year MEng option

The demand for innovation in medical technology devices, and consumer electronics such as mobile phones and televisions is always increasing.
