Learn the latest theoretical, hardware and software skills to pursue a professional career as an electrical and electronic engineer.
Our course gives you a broad and flexible education in electrical and electronic engineering. The range of engineering units lets you tailor your degree to your interests to support your future career choices.
From your first day, you’ll study the principles of electrical and electronic engineering, as well as explore new engineering techniques. This allows you to grow your technical knowledge and gives you the skills and understanding of current challenges relevant to the workplace. These include areas such as engineering processes, professional practice, ethics, and sustainability. You’ll also gain insight in current professional engineering practices by learning about the practical technologies used in industry.
The first two years of our four Electrical and Electronic Engineering courses are the same to give you a comprehensive grounding in the subject. It also gives you the option to switch between the BEng and MEng degree and decide whether you want to take a professional placement year or not up until the end of your second year.
Project work further develops your professional skills in teamwork, project management and self-management. It also allows you to flex your creativity and apply what you have learnt in a practical way. You'll combine creative approaches, innovation and your knowledge of engineering to solve problems on topics such as virtual reality tracking systems, medical sensors or next-generation LEDs.
Through this mix of theory, technical work and professional skills, we aim to prepare you for a future in industry, research or whichever path you choose.
You’ll learn from academics with expertise in electronic and electrical engineering. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.
Our Department has sophisticated teaching, project and fabrication laboratories that you’ll use during your degree. These include teaching laboratories, power and robotics laboratories, workshop and printed circuit board (PCB) production facilities, dedicated project workspaces and computer laboratories.
Play our video to see the facilities you'll use as part of your degree.
We work with industrial partners to make sure our course content reflects the needs of engineering industries worldwide. You’ll graduate with the technical expertise and transferable skills that will open up employment opportunities for you. Our graduates have been recruited into electronics, power, aerospace, communications, robotics or manufacturing industries. Others have found employment in sectors such as IT, financial services, accountancy, the armed forces or business. Our graduates have worked at companies including:

We understand that you will want to know more about the shape of the academic year. We work hard and plan for different scenarios, to be able to welcome you to the University of Bath at the start of each semester.
This course lasts 5 years. It starts in September 2024 and ends in 2029. Welcome week starts on 23 September 2024.
Occasionally we make changes to our programmes in response to, for example, feedback from students, developments in research and the field of studies, and the requirements of accrediting bodies. You will be advised of any significant changes to the advertised programme, in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
At Bath, our courses are made up of units of study. Compulsory units cover core concepts that you'll need to understand as part of your degree programme. Some of our courses also offer the opportunity for you to study optional units. These allow you to specialise in particular areas of knowledge that interest you.
As an undergraduate, you will be expected to take 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) in each academic year. Credits are usually split evenly across your two semesters of study. 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) are the equivalent of 1,200 notional hours of study; this includes contact time with staff and your own independent learning.

Going on placement gives you the chance to apply your theoretical knowledge to the workplace. Having professional experience can benefit the rest of your degree as well as improve your career prospects. It can also be an opportunity to earn a salary during your degree.
Our students have worked at companies including Intel, Jaguar Land Rover, Thales, Renishaw, Nordic Semiconductor, Siemens, Ultra Electronics, Surrey Satellite Technology and McLaren.
You can decide whether you want to apply for a placement up until the end of your second year. Placement opportunities cannot be guaranteed but you will receive tailored support from our specialist team to help you secure a placement.
Find out more about engineering placements and the support we offer.You’ll be taught and assessed by a variety of methods and it will vary between units. These methods are designed to promote in-depth learning and understanding of the subject.
These lists are to give you an idea of some, but not all, of the learning and assessment methods used on this course. They are not exhaustive lists and methods are subject to change.
Our teaching for this course is delivered through in-person learning on campus, supported by high quality online provision.
In your first year, you'll typically have around 18 to 24 hours of timetabled sessions a week, made up of lectures, seminars, and laboratory classes. The significant majority of contact hours over the duration of your course will be in person, and this will be enhanced by some online delivery which will constitute a smaller proportion of these contact hours, depending on your programme of study, year of study and chosen optional units. This may be supplemented by additional activities such as a small number of online learning sessions (not live), skills development sessions, and personal tutorials.
In later years, the amount of timetabled sessions on campus may vary based on the options you choose, with a greater emphasis on independent learning. Project and dissertation units will generally have fewer scheduled sessions to allow you time for your independent work. This may also mean the number of hours of timetabled sessions each week will vary within a year.
Outside your timetabled contact hours, you're expected to carry out independent learning and assessment activities to support your studies. Typically, you should expect to spend a total of 35 to 40 hours on scheduled sessions and independent study each week. Examples of independent activities may include:
The balance of assessment by coursework, exams and practical work will vary throughout your degree, depending on the optional units that you choose. As a guide, 40-60% of the course will be assessed by coursework and practical work, and 40-60% by examination. In your final year, you’ll complete an individual project. You’ll be assessed individually but you may also be assessed as part of a group.
We can make reasonable adjustments to assessment procedures for students with disabilities, take a look at our Disability Service’s pages for information.
By studying a course with a professional accreditation, you could have the chance to get workplace experience, learn about new developments in the industry and apply for membership with the accrediting body. You may also be able to apply for jobs in the industry without having to do any more exams.
Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, licensed by the Engineering Council, for the purpose of fully meeting the educational requirements for a Chartered Engineer.
As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).
The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.
‘I think my biggest achievement would be securing a job here. Having a graduate role is something big and I'm proud of it.’
