Course summary

This course will not be running in 2025. Please see alternative courses on our Electric and Electronic subject page.

Electrical and electronic engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines and uses cutting-edge technology to address some of the major concerns of the modern world. There is a growing demand for skilled graduates to work in industries such as consumer electronics, alternative energy and transport, medical engineering, and communications.

Years one and two provide a strong grounding in mathematics, computing, analogue and digital electronics, communications, electromagnetics, electronic systems, and control. You will also take language classes to prepare you for your third year overseas.

You will spend your third year studying in a foreign language at a university in continental Europe, following a similar curriculum to the one taught in Bristol. To find out more about studying abroad, visit Centre for Study Abroad.

In the third and fourth years, you will benefit from units which are informed by the latest technological developments and underpinned by research-informed teaching.

Through our close collaboration with industry, you will benefit from excellent employment prospects. Recent graduate employers include Intel, BBC, Dyson, Jaguar Land Rover, Siemens, Hewlett-Packard, EDF Energy and many others.

Please note: Entry requirements for this course are being reviewed and will be updated and confirmed here by May 2024.
