BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering (Top-Up)

About the course

We all use electronics every day. Electronic engineering helps to develop innovative new products and services to improve our lives and the environment. By gaining a qualification in electronic engineering, you could have some exciting career opportunities ahead of you.

This is a one-year top-up course and is ideal if you have already completed at least two years of university or Further Education study in a related subject, for instance, If you have a HND in Electronic Engineering (or equivalent). If you also have an interest in technology and how technology can be applied and managed, then this STEM course could be for you.
