BEng Electronic and Electrical Engineering
About this course
Electronic and electrical engineering is one of the foundational engineering disciplines, concerned with the design and development of electrical circuits, electronic devices, power systems, signals, and communications technologies. From the integrated circuits at the heart of every smartphone to the power grids that deliver electricity and the control systems that automate industrial processes, the work of electronic and electrical engineers shapes the technology that defines modern life. The field is evolving rapidly, driven by demands for greater efficiency, sustainability, and connectivity. At Brunel, this BEng programme is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to design electronic and electrical systems for the next generation, combining a rigorous technical curriculum with a contemporary approach to the field's most important challenges. The programme includes a foundation year for students who benefit from additional scientific and mathematical preparation before the main degree, and a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study engineering in an international context. The typical entry tariff for direct degree entry is 136 points. Graduates of electronic and electrical engineering programmes work in telecommunications, power systems, electronics design, automation, aerospace and defence, transport, healthcare technology, and research. The foundational nature of the discipline means that graduates are employable across virtually every technology-intensive sector. Many pursue professional engineering accreditation and work towards Chartered Engineer status, while others go on to postgraduate study in areas such as signal processing, power electronics, or communications engineering to develop more specialised expertise.
