Modern electrical and electronic engineering has rapidly evolved into many diverse areas. For example, mobile telephones, satellite communications, broadcast services, computers, automobile engine management systems and heart pacemakers are all examples of modern electronics. The generation and distribution of electrical power, the control of traction systems in high speed trains, electrical vehicles and urban transport systems, all have elements of electrical and electronic engineering. The rapid increase in demand for communication not only via traditional radio techniques, but also the world wide web has led to ever increasing demands on the electronic systems to carry that information. The demand for high quality healthcare services has led to a large increase in the use of technology in healthcare, ranging from sophisticated diagnostic equipment through 'high-tech' surgical devices to miniature implanted devices.

All of these areas demand highly skilled electrical and electronic engineers and technicians to provide not only the designs for the equipment, but also their manufacture, commissioning and maintenance. Our degrees provide you with an educational experience which matches these requirements, and yet responds to your own individual aspirations.

Study programmes include topics such as linear circuit theory, analogue electronics, digital electronics and mathematics. Project work is included during each year of study. We have staff with direct expertise in most of the areas where electrical and electronic engineers work.
