Electronic and Electrical Engineering

Electronic and electrical engineers are at the forefront of the challenge to connect our world: from designing and building more efficient and affordable technology, to providing a more robust and green energy network, and to help us live better, healthier, smarter and more sustainably.

It’s a discipline which impacts on almost every area of our lives, including communications, commerce, entertainment, manufacturing, healthcare, transport, energy and the environment.

With an emphasis on Industry 4.0 concepts, you'll learn about the latest developments and techniques in a variety of cutting-edge areas of engineering, such as Digital Signal Processing (DSP), robotics, AI, internet of things (IoT), power electronics, and sustainable technologies, so you'll graduate well-prepared to enter the workplace.

From day one, you'll take a systematic, hands-on approach to real-life engineering challenges alongside your peers, developing your leadership, project management, problem-solving, critical and creative thinking, teamworking and presentation skills. These skills are in high demand among employers and you'll use them throughout your career.

On our BEng (Hons) Electronic and Electrical Engineering, you'll develop knowledge and skills in Digital Signal Processing (DSP), robotics, robotics, AI, internet of things (IoT), power electronics, sustainable technologies and more, thoroughly preparing you to make a real difference to the world in a career at the forefront of innovation.

You’ll be able to choose from jobs in medical electronics, environmental monitoring, microelectronics, advanced electrical and electronic simulation, power electronics, robotics, artificial intelligence, automation and control, transport, industrial process control, and teaching.

You could use your leadership, independent thinking, problem-solving and teamworking skills to rise through the ranks of an existing engineering company or set up your own business.

At ARU, we work with employers to make sure you graduate with the knowledge, skills and abilities they need. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it – and they offer hands-on, practical opportunities to learn through work-based projects and internships.

Throughout the course, there’s a focus on employability with learning linked to real-world projects, supported by field trips and other relevant visits.

Graduation doesn’t need to be the end of your time with us. If you’d like to continue your studies we offer a range of postgraduate degrees including MSc Engineering Management.
