Explore power systems, power electronics, digital electronics, circuits and devices, electrical machines and drives. Your study covers theoretical and practical aspects across the range of electronic and electrical engineering. Once you’ve successfully completed the foundation year, you can start your main degree.
Open your pathway to becoming an expert in robotics or specialising in the devices and systems that power modern life with a degree in electronic and electrical engineering with a foundation year.
If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, you can start a BEng or MEng degree.
From electrical machines powering the National Grid to the latest technologies like 5G networks, the world runs on electrical and electronic engineering. Throughout your course, you'll explore the theoretical and practical aspects of these devices and systems across a wide range of core and optional modules.
In your foundation year, you'll develop your skills in maths, physics and laboratory work, preparing you to excel in your degree studies. You'll learn with academics specialising in the subject areas, using the same delivery and assessment styles as our degree courses. Project work, both individual and in groups, will also be led by academics.
At the end of your foundation year, you can choose whether to progress to any of the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering's full degree courses. You'll also be able to put what you have learned into practice during an optional industrial placement year.
A foundation year is an excellent way to prepare for your chosen engineering course and gain access to a top university education.
