Why study this course?

This career-focused course is designed to help you kick-start your career in a range of industrial sectors that require you to use internet connected electronic and cyber-physical systems. You could go on to work in areas such as aeronautics, automotive, defence, smartphones, telecommunications, medical devices or railway systems.

You could also progress to further postgraduate study such as a master’s degree or MPhil/PhD.

Businesses around the world view the lack of skill and knowledge of Internet of Things (IoT) within their workforce as one of the biggest obstacles to using it more extensively. As a result, the demand for graduates with knowledge and skills in electronics and IoT is rapidly growing.

This Electronic Engineering and Internet of Things BEng is supported by several specialised laboratories in general electronics, IoT, high frequency communications, computer-aided design (CAD), embedded systems and digital systems and opto-electronics.

When studying any of our specialised modules you'll spend a considerable part of the module in laboratories, to provide you with an opportunity to practise what you learn in your lectures and seminar sessions. Using an industry-standard simulation package, you'll investigate, design, implement, test and document a variety of real-world examples of electronics and communications systems. These sessions are performed individually or as part of a group.

You'll gain skills employers are looking for and practical experience through a work placement in a real client-driven project. The course will also help you develop interpersonal, team working and engineering skills alongside commercial, ethical and environmental awareness.

You can get a taste for life at our School of Computing and Digital Media by taking a look at our showcase of recent student work.
