The mainstream Electronics and Electrical Engineering course is broadly based, so that the graduate engineer is able to deal with all aspects of the subject from power engineering to micro-electronics, and from radar installations to digital systems.

A degree in Electronics and Electrical Engineering will prepare students for a wide range of professional careers. Emphasis is placed on the understanding of fundamental principles and their application to design and the solution of practical engineering problems. Even in early years of the course, when students are mastering relevant engineering science and mathematics, and being introduced to the principles of electronic circuits and systems, the focus is on using these skills to construct useful devices.
In later years, having gained experience in circuit and system design and the major application areas of control and communications, students can choose to acquire specialist knowledge in selected topics; from power engineering through applied neural networks and signal processing, to micro-, opto- and bio- electronics. In addition to state-of-the-art technical skills, the degree provides expertise in professional aspects including economics, project organisation and management; and considers environmental issues, including EMC, energy conservation, and safety.

* Note that not all the courses shown in these lists will necessarily be available in each year; the choice of a curriculum will be subject to this limitation and also to that imposed by timetable constraints. The University Calendar provides the definitive description of courses and course options.
