School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Examination board through which the programme will be considered:

School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Programme specification:

This is a practically-oriented but advanced course in the area of electronics design and applications. The programme is distinctive in that it provides a strong digital technology core backup up with applications-led modules. The distinctiveness of the programme is the excellent preparation it gives students for a range of careers in industry.

Substantial elements of practical work will be carried out by the students, giving them confidence with software and digital hardware implementations using microcontrollers, FPGAs, DSP devices and general system-on-chip methodologies. Students will conduct mini-projects in their own time, only seeking academic guidance and advice when needed. With its digital systems core and applications modules, the programme will enable students to develop into well-rounded engineers that can apply their skills in a diverse range of sectors.

As the programme develops, it is planned that a wide range of industrial placements will become available for student projects.
