Program overview
A four year route to an electronic engineering degree beginning with a foundation year, covering mathematics and physics before the full engineering honours programme.
Engineering assumes strong mathematics and physics from the first term, and the foundation year is where an applicant without them catches up.
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Electronic Engineering with Foundation Year is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the electronic engineering foundation route is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the electronic engineering foundation route, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the electronic engineering foundation route plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the electronic engineering foundation route does not support a family move.
The academic bar for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Electronic Engineering with Foundation Year is Class 12 or equivalent with 70 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the electronic engineering foundation route is recorded at GBP 19,000. Bangor charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the electronic engineering foundation route. The electronic engineering foundation route lists only two entry windows a cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the electronic engineering foundation route application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Class 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 75 with reading 18, writing 18, speaking 20 and listening 17; PTE Academic 56 with no component below 51; or the Duolingo English Test at 105.
- Application and deposit: Bangor charges NO application fee, so applying costs you nothing. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: The foundation year adds a year of tuition and living costs to the total, so weigh that against direct entry at another institution before you commit.
- Work rights: the electronic engineering foundation route is a degree, so it supports a UK Graduate Route application giving two years of unsponsored work after you finish. No dependant may accompany you on a taught course.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa prepares the CAS request, the financial evidence and the UK student visa submission with you.
English requirements
Documents you'll need typical ยท we confirm yours
- Valid passport (6+ months validity)
- Class 10 & 12 marksheets and certificates
- English test scorecard (IELTS / PTE / TOEFL) or MOI certificate
- Statement of Purpose (SOP)
- Financial proof โ bank statement / loan sanction
- Passport-size photographs
- Study-gap affidavit or work-experience letter (if applicable)

Career opportunities
Typical destinations for graduates:
- Electronics Engineer: product development companies
- Embedded Systems Engineer: hardware teams
- Test Engineer: manufacturing and quality
- Design Engineer: electronics manufacturers
- Field Applications Engineer: component suppliers
- Chartered Engineer: after further study and experience
Reality check: even after the foundation year a BEng is normally a partial academic qualification for chartered status, so a master may still be needed.
