Admissions
Curriculum
Course overview
The BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is a multidisciplinary course. It has the widest technical range of all our courses, allowing you to study a variety of topics including electronic design, communications, software engineering, computer modelling, microelectronics, power generation and distribution, electrical machines, signal processing, renewable energy systems and instrumentation.
We employ hands-on project work wherever possible to develop practical and problem-solving skills. Challenging engineering design projects will enhance your group-working skills while individual projects, which have significant industrial input, will enable you to enhance your skills and understanding in a chosen specialist area.
Special features
- You will have the opportunity to gain relevant industrial experience during your degree course. Our industrial liaison officer maintains links with many companies and can help arrange summer and year-out placements.
- Our BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering course is accredited by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
- Many students have the opportunity to take up to a year out to study abroad at a top international university (including our UK and Malaysia campuses) and in universities in the Universitas 21 group.
Course structure
The degree is offered as a three or four-year programme depending on your entry qualification.
For domestic students, the course structure follows the Chinese higher education system and is based on a four-year programme.
For international students, with relevant qualifications, the course structure follows the UK higher education system and is based on a three-year programme.
Preliminary year
This year is not compulsory for students with appropriate qualifications for year two entry.
It provides the best possible grounding for entry into our range of undergraduate degree courses. Provided you successfully complete the foundation year and pass relevant modules at the required standard, you will be able to progress to year one of your chosen degree.

Qualifying year
Also called Qualifying year. It is common to most of our courses. This gives you the flexibility to transfer to other courses within the Department once you have a better knowledge of the different specialist areas. You will gain an understanding of the principles and practices on which all specialisms within electrical and electronic engineering are founded. This is achieved through the study of analogue and digital electronics, circuits and systems, computing, communications and the application of electrical energy. Practical and fault-finding skills are developed through laboratory and project work. Your appreciation of the aspects of science and mathematics, which underpin the subject, will also be enhanced.
- EEEE1039 Applied Electrical and Electronic Engineering: Construction Project (40 Credits)
- EEEE1038 Computer-Aided Engineering (10 Credits)
- EEEE1037 Engineering Analysis (20 Credits)
- EEEE1036 Information and Systems (20 Credits)
- EEEE1035 Power and Energy (20 Credits)
Year 3
Also called Part 1. You will continue to improve your understanding of electrical and electronic engineering, and your design skills will be developed through a variety of laboratory-based subjects. This will prepare you to study, in the final years of your course, emerging and advanced technologies usually taught by internationally recognised researchers. Group projects, presentations and seminars enable you to gain the skills and understanding essential for the workplace.
- EEEE2060 Contemporary Engineering Themes (20 Credits)
- EEEE2056 Electrical Energy Conditioning and Control (20 Credits)
- EEEE2057 Electronic Processing and Communications (20 Credits)
- EEEE2058 Modelling: Methods and Tools (20 Credits)
- EEEE2059 Practical Engineering Design Solutions and Project Development (40 Credits)
Additional Course Choice: Additional course choice should be a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 0 credits from this group. You may be permitted to choose an optional course not listed above. Please contact your Course Director to discuss your options.
Year 4
Also called Part 2. In year three, you will be able to choose from a range of specialist topics, with the flexibility to maintain a broad base or focus on specific technologies. Your individual project forms a major part of the final year. Working in an area of your choosing, you will develop the design, analysis, construction and fault-finding skills. Many of these projects support research or development carried out with industry.
