Virtually every modern technology is underpinned by electronic or electrical engineering, and it is difficult to think of an application where it doesn’t have influence. From small intricate electronic systems and smart things to large scale power plants, engineers are behind the design, development and testing of these technologies. Electronic and electrical engineers collaborate with other engineering specialists, so it’s crucial to have a broad understanding of general engineering and its applications. At Lancaster, your first year is dedicated to exactly this, and you’ll share this experience with all our School of Engineering students, regardless of their specialisation. We think this makes you a well-rounded graduate, with excellent teamwork and communications skills, prepared for a career pioneering the materials, technologies and processes of the future.
Get ready to join a thriving School where what you learn is directly informed by our research and expertise in smart embedded systems, novel electromagnetics, radio frequency engineering, and millimetre waves with THz signals. You’ll benefit from our work with organisations such as CERN and the European Space Agency as well as our strong links with industry.
Broaden your horizons
Enrich your university experience with a year overseas at one of our partner universities. In Year 3, head out to start your adventure and immerse yourself in a different cultural and academic community. We’ll support you all the way!
What to expect
Our four-year BEng Hons Electronic and Electrical Engineering (Study Abroad) degree starts with your general engineering first year and includes topics such as circuitry and instrumentation, heat transfer and manufacturing, which form a key requirement of modern electrical and electronic systems.
You’ll specialise in electronic and electrical engineering from Year 2, developing your core skills as an engineer and building your familiarity and practical experience in power engineering, analogue circuitry and digital systems. Working in our two new engineering buildings with state-of-the-art facilities, you’ll develop your creativity and technical skills as you design, build and test to solve real-world problems.
As you return from overseas for your final year, you will work on a substantial project into a topic of your choice, often interdisciplinary in nature and linked with industry or one of our research groups. Previous examples of projects that you can work on include remote moisture sensing for internet of things; wearable antennas for medical body area network; low carbon shipping through improved electric propulsion; and energy storage and development of an electrical storm tracker.
Take further steps towards professional engineering with management skills, project management, and industry engagement. Sustainability, safety, ethics and quality management are kept in focus too.
Personal development
You will develop valuable transferable skills that make you highly desirable to future employers, such as working in collaboration, communication, and the ability to design and build a product or device. You will grow practical skills in diagnosis and testing, system maintenance, digital proficiencies, and the ability to consider and maintain work safety practices in a range of environments.
We hope you find your year overseas personally enriching. Our students often tell us that they return feeling more confident, self-assured and with a broader perspective to take into job interviews.
