About this course

Understand the key aspects of electronic and electrical engineering

Our BEng (Hons) Electronic and Electrical Engineering with Integrated Foundation Year course provides you with the core aspects of electronic and electric engineering following an initial foundation year that prepares you for higher education study within an engineering context.

Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) accreditation This course is accredited by the IET, one of the world’s leading professional societies for engineers and technicians. The accreditation means that it will be easier for you to apply for professional registration as a chartered or incorporated engineer after graduation.

Build your knowledge and confidence with an initial foundation year You will complete an extra year of study before starting your BEng to build your subject knowledge and develop your academic writing, reading and research skills.

Throughout this first year, you will develop your research, communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills and cover a range of topics including physics, mathematics, electronics and computing, and the practical application of these to engineering disciplines.

Learn the science behind electrical and electronic systems Following your foundation year, you will begin to develop a strong level of knowledge and understanding of a wide range of electronic and electrical engineering systems and applications.

Study specialist areas including:

  • Circuit design and analysis

  • Digital systems

  • Signal processing

  • Communication systems engineering

  • IoT software control and instrumentation

  • Power electronics

  • Electrical machines.

    Discover our specialist engineering laboratories Our dedicated engineering teaching and practice spaces allow you to use first-class, industry-standard equipment throughout your studies, as you gain a professionally-relevant and engaging engineering learning experience.

    Facilities include:

  • Dedicated teaching labs

  • Machine tool workshop

  • Project workshop

  • Compter-aided engineering suite.

    Develop the right skills to thrive within the industry This course has been designed in partnership with local businesses to ensure you are ready for the industry when you graduate and you will complete multiple design-build-test challenges that test your theoretical engineering understanding and practical skills in line with current industry standards.

    Apply your learning to practical projects The University of Chichester is a member of the unique CDIO (Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate) worldwide initiative, which means our courses are designed to be practical and lab-focused from the beginning.

    This ensures that you receive an engaging experience that encourages interdisciplinary teamworking to solve open-ended problems and develop your communication skills, which will help you stand-out in a competitive industry.

    On this course you will:

  • Build your academic confidence and abilities as you complete an initial foundation year before you continue onto your full degree.

  • Gain an in-depth understanding of electronic and electric engineering in line with industry requirements.

  • Learn in dedicated engineering labs and use first-class equipment.
