Accredited by the JBM
All our engineering courses are in line with the new engineering council requirements (AHEP 4.0) and the accreditation for Electronic Engineering MEng (Hons) with IET has been arranged when full student output from the course is available.
Careers
Careers in electrical engineering range from pure research through product design and development, to industrial and business management.
You’ll be able to choose from jobs in medical electronics, environmental monitoring, microelectronics, sound technology, biophysics, power, transport, media, engineering, industrial process control, construction and building services, and teaching.
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 research programmes including a PhD/MPhil in Electronics.
