Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Electronic and electrical engineering sits at the heart of nearly every modern technology, from the power grids that keep the lights on to the microprocessors inside smartphones, medical devices and transport systems. This full-time four-year programme at Anglia Ruskin University gives you a broad grounding in the principles that underpin both disciplines, equipping you to design, analyse and develop electronic and electrical systems across a wide range of applications.

You will study the fundamentals of circuit theory, electromagnetism and signal processing alongside the mathematics that makes sense of them. As the programme progresses, you explore digital electronics, control systems, power electronics and communications engineering, building practical skills in the laboratory alongside theoretical understanding. Anglia Ruskin's teaching on this programme applies to the BEng qualification, and while a full-time route is offered, part-time study in the same subject area is also available at this institution for those who need greater flexibility.

Entry to this programme is accessible, with a typical tariff of around 88 points, making it a route into engineering for students who come from a range of educational backgrounds.

Electronic and electrical engineers are employed across virtually every sector of the economy, including energy, telecommunications, aerospace, automotive, healthcare technology, manufacturing and defence. Graduates typically move into roles in design engineering, systems integration, project engineering, quality assurance and technical consultancy. The professional landscape is supported by bodies such as the Institution of Engineering and Technology, and further study at master's level or through chartered engineering routes is a natural progression for those who want to specialise or advance to senior technical and management positions.
