Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Electrical and Electronic Engineering

BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering spans the discipline’s twin tracks over three years: circuit theory and electronics, digital systems and microprocessors, electromagnetics, power systems and machines, control engineering, and embedded systems, with laboratory work threaded throughout and a final year built around an individual engineering project.

The teaching progression moves from fundamentals to integration — students design and build working circuits and embedded devices from early modules, then combine hardware, firmware and control into complete systems — and DMU’s engineering labs supply the instrumentation, prototyping and power equipment the syllabus assumes. Professional practice modules track the accrediting institutions’ expectations.

Equipment-driven learning defines the course’s texture: oscilloscopes, prototyping benches and power-machines laboratories are timetabled from the first term, and final-year projects routinely build deployable hardware — the physical evidence that distinguishes engineering interviews from software ones, and that students should photograph and document as they go for exactly that purpose.

Applicants should register the demand asymmetry inside the field when choosing options: consumer electronics glamour draws applications while power, energy and automation employers — the Midlands has all three in depth — struggle to fill graduate seats, making the electrical-side modules a quiet employability multiplier. The standard route runs September cycles at the engineering fee of £17,300.

Entry salaries reflect the shortage at £27,000–£31,000 across power, automation and electronics, with chartered progression beyond, and the qualification travels globally wherever electrification is accelerating. On completion the honours degree carries Graduate Route eligibility for the 18-month period governing applications from 2027, with dependants excluded on taught undergraduate routes.
