Fees: This is a resource intensive course, so it costs £8600. Start date: You can start this course in September.
In electronic engineering, we apply electricity to carry, process and store information. Electronics depends heavily on semiconductor technology, which has led to the invention of the famous microchip. Both electrical and electronic engineering depend on the same fundamental scientific laws, but diverge widely beyond these basics. Teaching and learning The programme is taught through a mix of lectures, tutorials, and laboratory work. The timetable contains around 16 hours of contact with staff a week, with around the same amount of time as “directed study”. All modules are supported through UDo, the University of Derby online, so you have access to essential support materials at any time of the day or night.

Options Stage Two You will choose from: Computer Systems and Software Engineering Control and Instrumentation Electronic Communications Technology Diploma in Professional Practice (optional) You will take: Contemporary Issues in Professional Practice Applied Professional Practice Stage three You will choose from: Communication Systems and Electromagnetic Compatibility Embedded Systems Digital Signal Processing Power Electronics and Applications Sensor and Control Systems Additional information If you don’t have appropriate qualifications to start this course straight away, you can study
the Technology Foundation Programme first. Between the second and third year you will have the option of developing your skills and knowledge in industry by completing an optional work placement. On completion of two modules, you will be awarded the Diploma in Professional Practice. This course is one of a suite of courses offered by the Electronics and Sound subject group. Since the others are closely related to this one, you will benefit from close links and collaborations with other students studying multimedia, music production or live event technology. This will provide you with a challenging, stimulating and creative learning environment. Your career You will have a wide range of employment opportunities in electrical and electronic engineering when you graduate. You could move into areas as diverse as avionics, medical electronics, automative electrical and electronic systems, electrical power generation, the rail industry or music and entertainment.
