Electrical and Electronic Engineering - BEng (Hons)

Switch on your career in electrical and electronic engineering at The University of Manchester, a university with a prestigious engineering history - and a bright focus on the future. We are home to one of the largest departments of electrical and electronic engineering in the UK, have fantastic links with industry, and have taught the discipline of electrical and electronic engineering since 1905. More than 100 years later, we continue to help address the biggest engineering challenges. The use of electrical energy is fundamental to modern life. Without a secure energy supply, society in its current form would collapse. Consequently, the importance of efficient and sustainable generation and secure distribution of electrical energy cannot be overstated. This will be a lifetime challenge facing generations to come – and electrical and electronic engineers have a vital role to play. Furthermore, both today and in years to come we look to electronics to provide answers for complex problems. Take the mobile phone as an example: a very sophisticated computer and communications system that links to a worldwide network of antennas allowing it to connect to any other mobile phone, as well as the internet. Another example is the digital camera, at the heart of which is a sophisticated electronic device containing millions of individual light level sensors. Additionally, we live in an information age. Complex systems require digital signal processing (for images, audio and other signals), and technological developments in communications include concurrent processing (to allow the manipulation of the massive amounts of data), data networking and digital communication systems for both local distribution and across the internet. Explore these themes and acquire the skills to take them forward at Manchester.

The University welcomes applications from appropriately qualified candidates across the world. We value global talent and are proud to receive applications from a wide range of educational systems and national backgrounds. Because international qualifications vary widely, it is not possible for us to list entry information for every country on this page.
