Programmes in Electrical & Electronic Engineering benefit from close links with the industry and many major employers.

This section applies to delivery at AMC only.

The standard entry requirement for students entering level 0 will be a Greek Secondary School diploma (Apolytirion of Lykeio) with a minimum Apolyterion average of 10. Non-Greek nationals who have obtained this qualification through attendance in the Greek schooling system will be eligible for admission on the same basis as Greek nationals. Overseas applicants may be admitted to the programme on demonstrating that:

1. They hold a qualification recognised by UEL for admission to undergraduate programmes, as documented in the current edition of the “Blue Book”

2. They have demonstrated command of the Greek language through possession of an appropriate qualification recognised by the Greek educational authorities

For students entering level 1, the standard entry requirement will be aGreekSecondary Schooldiploma (Apolytirion of Lykeio) with a minimum Apolyterion average of 15.

AMChas a well established interviewing and admissions process which it follows for every academic programme it offers. Candidates are expected to sit one or more interviews with a qualified interviewer (who is usually the Course Leader in the student’s respective field of interest). Following the interview, candidates are required to fill out an application form which formalizes their request to be granted admission to their chosen programme of study. All decisions on student admission are then undertaken by a committee consisting of the Director, the Course Leader, and selected course tutors

Students may also be admitted through Accreditation of Experiential Learning (AEL) or Accreditation of Certificated Learning (ACL) via the same standard process followed by UEL.

There is no English language requirement as the programme is delivered in the Greek language.

Electronics is at the heart of modern industries, activities and communication systems. Students that are awarded the Extended BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Systems degree will be able to work in a very wide variety of disciplines. These include areas such as radio and television, sound recording and music systems, telephone systems, networking, data communication, the electricity supply, aerospace industry and industrial processing plants. Many other industries rely on electronics, computing and information technology such as banking and manufacturing companies producing a wide variety of products.

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.

Study is based on four years (level 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.

The programme benefits from access to purpose built laboratories and computer suites for use by students studying Electrical/Electronics based programmes. Teaching is delivered through formal lectures, tutorials, and laboratory sessions. Lectures are supported by course notes and material uploaded to the virtual learning environment that allow you to concentrate on the lecture and to aid independent study. Group work is encouraged and is used to good effect during the second year module Employability Skills and Group Design.

Assessment varies from module to module but it has been updated to meet UEL assessment tariff. Assessment may include time constrained assessments (end of module examinations or on-line tests), coursework, individual and group project work, laboratory reports and tests of competence in theoretical and practical sessions.

Staff advise and support students in making their job applications.

Project work is an important feature of this programme. Throughout your studies you will undertake small projects as part of the module assessment. During the final year of the programme you will be required to complete independent research of research and study of a technical subject in the form of a project. This project will be supervised by a member of the academic staff with an interest in the subject and will normally include laboratory work or the analysis of a specific engineering problem. The project often requires students to take an idea through to a working model. The project constitute one third of the final year of the programme.

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. Previous graduates in Electronics Engineering have also successfully undertaken careers in business, management, marketing and finance.

There are in place strong student support systems. We encourage you to consult with your tutors, who will monitor your progress and provide assistance and advice with academic and personal problems.

The facilities include dedicated computer laboratories and equipment which you are free to use at any time (within the usual Health & Safety constraints) if they are not required for a another class. Learning support is readily available from technical support staff supported by and from academics.

The programme’s aims and learning outcomes comply with UK-SPECwhich is the standard for recognition of professional engineers in the UK and is published by ECUK on behalf of the Engineering profession. The learning outcomes emphasized by UK-SPECare categorised under the following generic headings: underpinning sciences and mathematics, engineering analysis, design, economic, social and environmental context and engineering practice. These are mapped to UEL learning outcomes which are categorised under different headings: knowledge, thinking skills, subject-based practical skills and skills for life and work (general skills).

Our aim is to assist you to become a competent engineer with the knowledge, understanding and skills required for a professional career in electrical/electronic engineering in industry or research. When awarded the BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Systems you will be able to work in a very wide variety of disciplines. These include areas such as broadcasting industry, data transmission, computer networking, telephone systems, industrial process plants, car manufacturers, aerospace industry, electric power industry, general manufacturing industry, electricity supply, electric machines and electric drives manufacturers, power electronics manufacturers and users, printed circuit board design and embedded systems,  plus microprocessors systems design and programming. Graduates could also diversify and work in areas such as banking and IT companies. We have divided this aim into a number of subsections in order to give additional focus.

This programme is designed to give you the opportunity to:

• Educate electrical/electronic engineering students to be competent engineers in design, analysis and electrical/electronic engineering practice underpinned by science and mathematics
• Promote an active interest in electrical/electronic engineering and encourage students to respond to changes and developments within their profession

• Provide knowledge and understanding of current theories and developments in electrical/electronic engineering
• Enhance students' understanding of the engineering management processes relevant to electrical/electronic engineering
• Provide students with an understanding the importance of professionalism, engineering ethics and problem solving techniques
• Provide students with an awareness of economic, social and environmental issues facing electrical/electronic engineers
• Allow progression in career and educational development giving opportunities to study for a graduate masters degree

The expected duration of this programme is 4-years when attended in full-time mode. It is possible to move from a full-time mode of study to a part-time mode of study and vice-versa, to accommodate any external factors such as financial constraints or domestic commitments. Many of our students make use of this flexibility and this may impact on the overall duration of their study period.

The teaching year begins in September and ends in June but some programmes also allow students to join at the start of Semester B, in February. A student normally registering for 6 modules in one year (3 modules in each Semester) would do so in a full-time attendance mode of study and a student registering for up to 4 modules in one year (2 modules in each Semester) would do so in part-time attendance mode of study.

This programme is part of a modular degree scheme. A student registered in a full-time attendance mode will take six 20 credit modules per year. An honours degree student will complete six modules at level one, six at level 2 and six at level 3. In addition students following the extended programme will complete six modules at level 0 prior to commencement of level 1.

It is possible to bring together modules from one field with modules from another to produce a combined honours programme. Subjects are offered in a variety of combinations:

Single - 120 credits at levels one, two and three

Major - 80 credits at levels one, two and three

Modules are defined as:

Core - Must be taken

Option - Select from a range of identified modules within the field

University wide option - Select from a wide range of university wide options

The following are the core and optional requirements for the single and major routes for this programme. For a single honours programmes students should take all the core modules listed with a choice of options in the final year. Students wishing to pursue a combined honours route must take this as a major pathway only.

hisgraogramme is part eme. A stnt  programme is delivered in the Greek languate.

Before this programme started, the following was checked:

• there would be enough qualified staff to teach the programme;
• adequate resources would be in place;
• the overall aims and objectives were appropriate;
• the content of the programme met national benchmark requirements;
• the programme met any professional/statutory body requirements;
• the proposal met other internal quality criteria covering a range of issues such as admissions policy, teaching, learning  and assessment strategy and student support mechanisms.

This is done through a process of programme approval which involves consulting academic experts including some subject specialists from other institutions.

The quality of this programme is monitored each year through evaluating:

• external examiner reports (considering quality and standards);
• statistical information (considering issues such as the pass rate);
• student feedback.

Drawing on this and other information, programme teams undertake the annual Review and Enhancement Process which is co-ordinated at School level and includes student participation.  The process is monitored by the Quality and Standards Committee.

Once every six years an in-depth review of the whole field is undertaken by a panel that includes at least two external subject specialists.  The panel considers documents, looks at student work, speaks to current and former students and speaks to staff before drawing its conclusions.  The result is a report highlighting good practice and identifying areas where action is needed.

This programme has a programme committee comprising all relevant teaching staff, student representatives and others who make a contribution towards the effective operation of the programme (e.g. library/technician staff).  The committee has responsibilities for the quality of the programme. It provides input into the operation of the Review and Enhancement Process and proposes changes to improve quality.  The programme committee plays a critical role in the quality assurance procedures. 

The standard of this programme is monitored by at least one external examiner.  External examiners have two primary responsibilities:

• To ensure the standard of the programme;
• To ensure that justice is done to individual students.

External examiners fulfil these responsibilities in a variety of ways including:

• Approving exam papers/assignments;
• Attending assessment boards;
• Reviewing samples of student work and moderating marks;
• Ensuring that regulations are followed;
• Providing feedback  through an annual report that enables us to make improvements for the future.
