On our course you’ll become a specialist in the electrical and electronic devices that make the human world go round, from wind turbines to computers. You’ll also have the industry experience to back up the expert knowledge you’ve gained in your studies.
Practical experience is key to our teaching, with the chance to take part in two week-long group projects across your first and second years to solve real-world problems. You’ll also have the chance to work with an engineering company through the semester-long Sheffield Industrial Project Scheme.
At the end of your second year you can specialise or continue with the more general electrical and electronic engineering, which is our most popular course.
Specialise your degree by focusing on one of the following:
electrical engineering
electronic engineering
electronic and communications engineering
semiconductor photonics and electronics
electrical and electronic engineering
All that academic study will then be put into context with a year-long industry placement. While placements are not guaranteed and are your responsibility to source, you’ll receive plenty of advice and support from our dedicated Industrial Placement Year team.
Final year modules are industry oriented, focused on the application of scientific knowledge. You’ll work in a multidisciplinary team on a research project, led by one of our academics, with industry input. This will develop practical transferable skills like team working, decision making and problem solving skills, enhancing your employability.
