Overview

If you've already started your career and want to top up your HND or Foundation degree 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.

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.

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