Overview

Electronic and Electrical Engineering with Industrial Year is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Electrical and Electronic Engineering splits the week between lectures, laboratory work and design sessions, and ends in an individual or group project.

The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
