Programme summary for BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering – Extended Degree
About the programme
The Electrical and Electronic Engineering programmes at UEL have proved to be popular for many years. We have developed programmes that are current and will give you the opportunity to develop your understanding and skills. With very good facilities for laboratory and practical work you will be able to reinforce the theories and practices learnt in the classroom via 'hands on' experience. Our programmes offer you the opportunity to study the fundamental knowledge and theories required by Electrical and Electronic Engineers and apply these to the practical work environment.
Programme structure
Extended BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme is essentially the same as the BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme with an additional year (level 0) prior to commencement of study at level 1. Study is based on four years (level1 0, 1, 2 and 3) full-time or five years sandwich with an industrial placement between levels two and three. The programme is modular and is based on core studies supported by a number of optional modules. There are six modules of study each year.
Career opportunities
Career opportunities are available in civil and military electrical/electronic engineering, the manufacture of a wide variety of products plus IT and computer or microprocessor-based activities. Graduates have also successfully undertaken careers in business, management, marketing and finance.
Support
The School prides itself on its student support systems. We operate an open door policy with students encouraged to consult with their tutors. Personal Tutors and Programme Tutors will monitor your progress and provide assistance and advice with academic and personal problems. We are pleased for students to consult whichever tutor they are comfortable talking to.
The school facilities include dedicated computer laboratories and equipment that you are free to use whenever it is not being used for a class. Each laboratory has a Laboratory Technician permanently on hand to help. All formal laboratory classes are supported by academics.
Employer links are maintained through our industrial Liaison Group and employers are invited to attend the University to talk to students about careers in engineering. Key local engineering employers judge an annual competition to student presentation skills. This is an optional presentation for our final year students.
Admission
All applicants MUST have attained a minimum standard of GCSE grade C in English Language and Mathematics or their equivalents. In the case of applicants whose first language is not English, then IELTS 6.0 (or equivalent) is required. International qualifications will be checked for appropriate matriculation to UK Higher Education undergraduate programmes.
Entry requirements will normally be either:
- A relevant A2 level course of study, i.e. mathematics and science, preferably physics but with insufficient tariff points for entry to Year 1. A minimum of 120 UCAS tariff points is required.
- Successful completion of an 'A' level course of study, but not in the normally accepted subjects subject areas. A minimum of 120 UCAS tariff points is required.
- Equivalent qualifications to (i) or (ii) above e.g. BTEC/EDEXEL, CITEVEC, Scottish Highers, appropriate Access course courses NVQ(Advanced) etc. but again with insufficient points for entry to year 1 or not in the normally accepted subjects subject areas
Students with other qualifications and/or work experience who can demonstrate that they can benefit from and have the potential to succeed on the programme course will be considered on an individual basis.
Students may join Year 0 at the start of semester B if they can provide satisfactory evidence that they have previously achieved the learning outcomes of semester A.
