Course content
Course structure
As well as project work and modules in different aspects of power engineering, electronics and communications, years 1 and 2 provide you with a comprehensive grounding in mathematics, engineering concepts, electrical engineering, computer programming and engineering design, innovation and management.
After the second year you may also opt for a year-long industrial placement. The final two years comprise specialist options at BEng final year and masters level, and major individual and team projects which are often supported by industry. These courses benefit from the strong industrial links established by many of the staff.
