Stage 1 will provide a broad introduction to the principles of engineering. You’ll get involved in practical work from day one, taking part in a hands-on interdisciplinary engineering project.
Modules
During Stage 2, you'll build upon your knowledge and skills, covering subjects including computer systems and microprocessors, digital electronics, and semiconductor devices and analogue electronics.
Modules
You'll continue to explore a wide range of topics, including areas such as electrical machines, digital signal processing, power system operation, and electronic devices.
You'll also complete an individual project and dissertation, as well as a study project focusing on a new technical area.
