Home Digital Transformation and Industrial Courses: Preparing Professionals for Industry 4.0
This degree spans everything from designing semiconductor chips, circuits and motors to building complete communication and power systems. Informed by our world-leading research and shaped with input from industry, it will give you the skills and experience to launch a successful engineering career.
You'll learn through lectures, labs, tutorials and projects, many of which take place in our state-of-the-art teaching building, The Diamond. Here you'll gain hands-on experience with industry standard facilities, including our Electronics and Control Lab, Teaching Cleanroom and Computer Labs.
In Year 1, you will develop a strong foundation in systems modelling, computer engineering and AI, circuits, and analogue and digital electronics, while building teamwork and project skills.
In Year 2, you will explore design projects, control, communications, embedded systems and circuits, with options in energy conversion and hardware/software design.
In Year 3, you can tailor your degree by specialising in one of four specialisations:
- Electrical and Electronic Engineering (eg power electronics, energy systems, semiconductor electronics and devices)
- Electrical Engineering (eg electromechanical machines, control systems, energy systems)
- Electronic Engineering (eg semiconductor devices, digital signal processing, integrated electronic and semiconductor systems)
- Communications (eg wireless communications systems, digital signal processing, integrated electronics)
Why study this course?
Shape the future
Electronic and electrical engineering lies at the heart of many of the technologies that will shape the future. This programme will enable you to make a positive contribution to many global challenges, including green energy, AI, healthcare, cybersecurity and electric transport.
Study with experts
You will learn from academic staff who are involved in world-class research with our industrial partners. Their research informs our teaching.
Do engineering via project work
As well as learning about engineering, you will also do engineering by completing various projects. For your final year project you may be embedded within a research group or use the facilities in our bespoke project labs or the iForge Makerspace.
Specialist teaching laboratories
The Diamond building is dedicated to teaching engineering students practical skills. It contains large, modern labs where you can apply the theoretical material delivered in lectures to real-world applications. It's staffed by a team of technical and academic staff who are dedicated to teaching practical skills. The building also contains over 1,000 individual study spaces.
Exciting careers
The specialist and generic skills that you acquire will enable exciting well-paid global career opportunities in industry, commerce, research and beyond.
