Modules

• Engineering Mathematics

  In this module you will learn to apply mathematical concepts and software tools to solve engineering problems. On completion you will be able to use analytical techniques and software tools to solve simple algebraic problems, develop mathematical models of engineering systems and apply an appropriate analytical method or software tool to solve a mathematical model.

• Introduction to Electrical Engineering

  This module will provide you with context and practical experience of electrical engineering. You will be introduced to fundamental characteristics of power system components, electrical power generation and distribution systems.

• Engineering Practice

  On this module you will develop your engineering skills using projects as the focus of your learning. You will work on group projects, applying engineering skills such as reflection, organisation, planning, design, communication and planning. You will be introduced to concepts across a range of engineering specialisms as part of a problem-based approach.

• Introduction to Artificial Intelligence

  This module introduces artificial intelligence (AI) and gives you the skills needed for specialist study later in your degree. You will cover the principles and techniques of AI and gain an understanding of how to apply the techniques to real-world problems and situations.

• Analogue and Digital Electronics

  This module will introduce you to the concepts that underpin the disciplines of analogue and digital electronics, including the practical implementation and measurement of the performance of such systems. Areas covered include analogue electronics; op am circuits; oscillators; combinational logic design; and interfacing.

• Embedded Systems 1

  This module enables you to build a base of knowledge and skills in programming using the C language (a very common language used in embedded systems). By using the open-source electronic prototyping platform Arduino with its mix of sensors and actuators, you will be motivated to set programming challenges for yourself.

Year 2

Building on the knowledge and skills developed in year 1, you will explore topics such as computer programming, radio and navigation systems, microcontrollers and programmable logs.

You will learn programming to an advanced level and spend time in our specialist labs compiling, simulating and implementing your designs.

Modules

• Communication Networks

  Communication Networks will develop your understanding of the principles of analogue communications systems and network protocols. You'll get to grips with basic network configuration and troubleshooting, identifying LAN security threats alongside configuring and securing a basic WLAN.

• Dynamics and Control

  This module introduces concepts to describe the dynamic behaviour of practical engineering systems. You'll learn to build mathematical models for engineering systems that can be used to analyse and predict the dynamic behaviour of mechanical systems. You'll also explore design and simulation methodologies for systems to control the dynamic behaviour of engineering systems. 

• Electrical Engineering 2

  Electrical Engineering 2 is an exploration of fundamental concepts used in the electrical power industry. You'll be introduced to the design and analysis of single and three phase electrical power systems, and to the design and operation of electrical power and conversion devices.

• Digital Systems Design

  Digital Systems Design builds on your knowledge of basic combinational logic and sequential systems design. You'll apply these designs to programmable logic using VHDL as a hardware description language. The module is hands-on and you'll spend time in the laboratory compiling, simulating and implementing your designs using FPGA development software and hardware.

• Engineering Design

  On this module you’ll develop the knowledge and skills needed to undertake and apply engineering theory to design practice. You’ll work in multidisciplinary groups on the design and manufacture of an engineering project – from market research to product ideation, development and launch – ending with a competitive test of the product’s functionality.

• Embedded Systems 2

  Building on Embedded Systems 1 from your first year, this module enhances your understanding of microcontroller operation by relating software instructions to the hardware architecture using assembly code. You'll extend your C programming skills to be able to use the full functionality of microcontroller technology in an embedded real-time application.

Placement year

A placement year offers you a great opportunity to:

• build knowledge of real-world businesses and organisations
• develop existing skills and discover new ones
• make contacts in industry and commerce
• increase your confidence
• improve your time management.

You will also gain the appropriate amount of work experience to reach Engineering Technician (EngTech) status.

Our students have been on placement with companies including:

• Network Rail
• General Electric
• Rolls-Royce
• Cummins Generator Technology.

Final year

Areas of study include digital signal processing, microprocessor systems design and product innovation and management.

You will also undertake an individual project giving you the opportunity to explore an area that interests you most.

Modules

Core modules

• Individual Project

  In this module you’ll be both technical expert and project manager of your major individual project which investigates a technical problem in significant depth. You’ll work independently, with a member of academic staff acting as project adviser, building your confidence and competence in project management. The project enables you to bring together the skills you’ve learned during your degree, such as research, analysis and engineering application.

• Product Design

  Using a project-based approach, this module will teach you how to design engineered products and components. You will develop a product design that meets a combination of societal, user, business and customer needs as appropriate. You will evaluate the environmental and societal impact of the developed design and minimise adverse impacts. 

• Wireless Computer Networks

  On this module you'll develop advanced knowledge of the key design aspects of modern wireless communication systems. You'll also explore communication systems theory and the latest innovations in technology.

Options*

• Digital Signal Processing

  Digital Signal Processing prepares you to apply digital signal algorithms to real-time signals. You'll develop the knowledge, skills and understanding to implement digital signal processing algorithms operating on real-time one-dimensional data. Part of your assessment will be a technical report detailing your investigation, evaluation and implementation of FIR and IIR filters in a real-world situation.

• Networking

  Large enterprises depend heavily on the smooth operation of their network infrastructures. You'll explore the architectures and considerations related to designing, securing, operating and troubleshooting enterprise networks. The module will also prepare you for CCNA certification as an optional activity. 

• AI/ML for Robotics Communication Systems

  This module introduces artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques and applications used in robotics and communication systems. You'll develop in-depth knowledge of topics such as neural networks, data mining, information filtering, node-to-node communication and mobile/wireless communications like 5G and B5G. And you'll use that knowledge in a group practical project to design and build a system.

*Option modules are indicative and may change, depending on timetabling and staff availability.

Staff profile

Regulated fees

Fees for UK students on undergraduate and some postgraduate courses are set by the UK government. These are known as regulated fees. From academic year 2026–27, regulated fees will increase annually in line with forecast inflation.

Student Finance England loans for tuition fees and maintenance will also rise in line with inflation.

If you are studying part-time your fee will usually be calculated based on the number of modules that you take.
