ObjectivesThis degree is designed for students wishing to specialise in electrical subjects covering power generation and distribution, electrical machines, power electronics, real-time control, power quality, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and industrial drive processes. The School's activities in these areas are internationally renowned.
Entry requirementsRequired subjects: All courses require mathematics at A2 level (or equivalent). The second A2 level should be in a science or engineering based subject. A third A2 level subject is also required (excluding general studies). IB score: 30-32 (5 Mathematics + 5 Science at higher level)
Academic titleBSc Electrical Engineering
Course descriptionBSc Electrical Engineering
Programme
Year one
You will gain an understanding of the principles and practices on which electrical engineering is founded, achieved through the study of analogue and digital electronics, the application of electrical energy and practical work including programming and projects. Your appreciation of the aspects of science and mathematics, which underpin the subject, will also be enhanced.
Year two
You will continue to develop your understanding of electrical engineering. This will prepare you to study, in the final years of your course, emerging and advanced technologies usually taught by internationally recognised researchers. Group projects, presentations and seminars enable you to gain the skills and understanding essential for the workplace.
Year three
In the final years, you will be able to choose from a range of specialist topics. You will also undertake an individual research project, which forms a major component of your final year.
