Course Information

Why study electronic engineering

  • Imagine a world without electricity or electronic devices. It's easy to see why engineering is vital to our survival and the development of future technologies.
  • Electronic engineers play a vital role in the design, development, distribution and recycling of numerous everyday products. Engineering is where change begins it's about asking questions, pushing boundaries and leading innovation. If that sounds like you, then you're already thinking like an engineer.

Why UWE Bristol

  • Discover how engineering will challenge you, and change the way you learn. You'll tackle real world issues through live projects, and be encouraged to take risks as you develop solutions in our state-of-the art labs.
  • From 2020, you'll be taught in our new multi-million pound Engineering building. Featuring engine test cells, wind tunnels and dedicated learning spaces, it's purpose-built to support a wide range of engineering disciplines.
  • Learn the skills and knowledge you need for a successful career in this sector. Study digital and analogue electronics, mathematics and computer programming.
  • Explore the application of electronics in a range of environments and examine signal processing, micro-controllers, communications, control systems and digital hardware design.
  • Develop professional skills in project planning, group work and communication.
  • Apply knowledge through practical projects in our well-equipped facilities. Gain an inside track on the industry through factory tours and professional briefings from leading organisations, with some of the biggest names in engineering on your doorstep.
  • Attend careers fairs and engineer 'speed dating' events to help you find work as soon as you graduate, and take the next step towards changing the world for the better.

Where can it take me

  • Choose a career designing electrical and electronic systems, working on consumer technology or solving engineering problems for communications and power generation/distribution companies.
  • You could also work in technology, manufacturing, transport and rail, aviation and a host of other industries.
