Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Electrical and electronic engineering is the discipline behind the systems that power, connect, and automate modern life. Whether the focus is on the large-scale management of electrical power, the design of embedded microprocessor systems, the development of communications infrastructure, or the engineering of biomedical devices, the same fundamental skills apply: the ability to analyse, design, build, and maintain complex technical systems that must work reliably under real-world conditions.

At London South Bank University, this part-time programme is designed to develop exactly those skills, with a focus on electrical control systems, microprocessor systems, biomedical and telecommunication systems, and the Internet of Things. The programme includes a foundation year, giving you the academic and technical grounding you need before you move into the core engineering content, and a sandwich placement year that puts you inside a professional engineering environment for an extended period. Work placement is embedded throughout, and the teaching is informed by real-world industrial applications developed through LSBU's links with industry.

This means the knowledge you acquire in the classroom is consistently connected to how engineering is actually practised in organisations.

Studying part-time allows you to build your engineering education at a pace that fits alongside work or other commitments, and LSBU's London location gives you access to one of the world's most concentrated engineering and technology communities.

Graduates go on to work as electrical engineers, electronics engineers, systems engineers, and embedded systems specialists in sectors including telecommunications, energy, healthcare technology, defence, and manufacturing. The degree also provides a strong platform for progression to chartered engineer status and for postgraduate study in electrical engineering, embedded systems, or a related specialism. LSBU's emphasis on applied, practice-based learning means graduates are well prepared to contribute in professional environments from early in their careers.
