Electrical Engineering
Gain the skills to drive real-world innovation in electrical engineering—from developing affordable health technology and next-generation AI processors to designing efficient electric motors for a renewable future.
As we enter a new era of smart, connected technologies, learn from experienced engineers as you apply theory in hands-on lab sessions and design projects.
You might develop non-invasive foetal heart monitoring techniques. Build neural prosthetics like bionic eyes to help people regain function. Integrate smart cities to ensure pedestrian and cyclist safety. Or design autonomous trains and delivery vehicles to safely transport people and goods – while cutting emissions.
You’ll expand your understanding of signal processing, electronics design, electromagnetism, antennas, real-time system design, multimedia communications and smart grids.
As the adoption of automation and AI accelerates, organisations need a new generation of electrical engineers to analyse data, boost efficiencies and build better products. We’ll show you how to take charge and lead the way.
You need to satisfy the following entrance requirements to be considered for entry to this course.
