Several areas of technology are addressed including: electronics, computing, applied mathematics and circuit theory. In addition you will undertake group projects and develop practical, presentation, report-writing and study skills.
  
  The second year broadens and deepens your technical knowledge, along with your commercial and practical skills. The topics studied include: digital and analogue electronics, electronic design, embedded systems and communications. You will also undertake an enterprise module, which, through group work, concentrates on the management and commercial skills required to take an electronic device from prototype through to production.
