Stage 1 will provide a broad introduction to the principles of engineering. You will gain an understanding of design processes in a multi-disciplinary context. This will aid the development for your professional skills. You will also focus on engineering materials, mechanics, and electrical and electronic engineering.

During Stage 2, you'll build upon your knowledge and skills, covering subjects including computer systems and microprocessors, digital electronics, semiconductor devices and analogue electronics, and more.

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.

In Stage 3 you will select a specialism and study topics focused on either electrical power, intelligence sensing and communications or microsystems. Specialising gives you unique employability in your chosen focus area.

Stage 3 also includes a dissertation project. This incorporates professional skills such as project management, and law specifically tailored for for electrical engineers. Leading research and current engineering trends will inform your project topic. Your project is supervised by academics who are experts in their research field.

In Stage 4, you’ll select modules aligned with our three research groups’ expertise. At this advanced level, you’ll study specialised Master's-level modules focused on contemporary industrial topics.

You'll work on a group design project, an industrial project, and complete a piece of extended coursework, where you'll design and operate a real engineering device or system.

Recent industrial projects have included protocols for electronic drive control, an electric bike, and connections for low carbon technology to the power grid, for companies such as Tridonic, Dyson, and Imagination Technologies.
