About Electronic Systems Engineering (Distance Learning) (Top-up) (2 or 3 Year), BEng (Hons) - at University of Portsmouth

Overview

If you've already started your career and want to top up your HND or Foundation degree (FdA) to a full Bachelor's degree, this BEng (Hons) Electronic Systems Engineering top-up degree course is ideal.

Enhance your engineering skills and increase your contribution to your organisation with the potential to level up in a new role and increase your salary.

Study anywhere that suits you, over two or three years, while developing your potential as a skilled electronic engineer in areas such as consumer and professional electronics, robotics, defence, broadcasting and telecommunications.

Course Highlights

  • Put mathematical models into practice, using computer-based design and simulation techniques
  • Get a core understanding of analogue and digital electronics, data communications and signal processing
  • Design systems, simulate and test prototypes using various technologies
  • Design economic solutions to meet the complex specifications of consumers today, using engineering analysis software tools

Careers and opportunities

As an senior electronic engineer, you can expect a salary from £40,000 to £65,000.

If you're planning to stay with your current employer after graduating, you could use this top up course to secure a more senior role. But you could also apply your skills to any number of roles in industries that require engineers.

All engineering roles are listed in the UK Government’s 'skills shortage list' – which means engineers are currently in high demand. And the 2019 IET Skills and Demand in Industry report found that a third of employers increased their engineering and technology workforce in the previous 3 years.

You could also choose to set up your own business, or take a voluntary placement.

Previous students have gone on to work in roles including:

  • electronics engineer
  • product design engineer
  • application engineer

Our graduates have worked in areas such as:

  • robotics
  • defence
  • consumer and professional electronics
  • broadcasting and telecommunications

Ongoing career support – up to 5 years after you graduate

Get experience while you study, with support to find part-time jobs, volunteering opportunities, and work experience.

Towards the end of your degree and for up to five years after graduation, you’ll receive one-to-one support from our Graduate Recruitment Consultancy to help you find your perfect role.
