Electronic Engineering (top-up degree) BSc(Hons)

  • Overview

    Electronics technology is everywhere, so much so that we often take it for granted. It is in our mobile phones and iPods, our cars and PCs, our washing machines, microwaves ovens, satellites and submarines, and our hospitals and homes. All this requires technologists, people who understand how electronics work and how to design products and services using electronics.

    This top-up degree is for engineers with a foundation degree or HND in a relevant subject who wish to build the qualifications up to an honours degree, increase their knowledge and skills and make themselves even more employable.
