Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with Industrial Placement)

Accredited by the Engineering Council and Institution of Engineering and Technology, our Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree lets you explore and address society’s current challenges.

Study smart power, process control and remote sensing in our up-to-the-minute facilities, including robotics labs and our FabLab with 3D printers, laser scanners and cutters, and CNC machines.

Outside of studying, you can join our Hull Electric Racing Team (HERT). You’ll work as a group to build and test a racing car, enjoying exclusive access to our F1 simulator. And when you’re ready to race, you’ll compete against other teams at Silverstone.

Gain real-world experience before you graduate with a placement year. The Humber is home to over 350 engineering and process companies, so you’ll be in a prime spot to access a range of placement opportunities.

Like all our Engineering courses, Electrical and Electronic Engineering shares a common first year, which means you can choose to switch to a different pathway in your second year. It also offers a four-year Integrated Masters (MEng) option. This lets you study a year at postgraduate level on top of your degree.
