BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Sandwich Year

Our course balances the related, but differing areas of electronic and electrical engineering. You’ll develop complementary skills to apply to a fast-paced, exciting industry. Develop skills in power electronics, motor control systems and renewable energy. Complement this with in-depth knowledge of electronics such as analogue circuits and embedded systems development.  The practical modules on this course are based around the building skills needed within industry, such as problem-solving in an engineering context, project management and communications skills. You’ll also be given opportunities to explore specialist areas in our dedicated laboratories, which are filled with modern test and measurement equipment as well as more specialist equipment for power electronics and robotics. You’ll be taught by research active staff with many years of experience in industry. Full-time students can take an optional 48-week sandwich placement in industry between Year 2 and Year 3. Benefit from the latest high-quality equipment and facilities available through our new £35m Engineering Innovation Centre.
Our sandwich degrees offer the perfect blend of academic study and practical work experience, allowing you to build confidence in the workplace and graduate work-ready from your degree programme.

Our previous graduates have found their sandwich year particularly beneficial as it has allowed them to gain practical, hands-on experience within their chosen career and the opportunity to learn directly from professionals based out in industry. It is not uncommon for sandwich year programmes to also open up future work opportunities in similar fields or professions for our graduates.
