Program overview
A three year honours engineering degree with an optional placement, covering power systems, analogue and digital electronics, control engineering, embedded systems and a project.
Britain’s electrification and renewable programmes sustain demand for electrical engineers, which gives this route a clearer employment case than most.
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is taught at the Birmingham City University, a UK university with degree awarding powers. Because the electrical engineering degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after the electrical engineering degree ends, or three years for a doctorate. To claim it after the electrical engineering degree you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. One limit applies to the electrical engineering degree as to every taught course in Britain: the rules introduced in January 2024 stop taught students bringing a spouse or children as dependants, so the electrical engineering degree cannot support a family move.
The academic bar for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is Class 12 or equivalent with 60 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the electrical engineering degree is recorded at GBP 18,570 a year. BCU charges no application fee, so applying for the electrical engineering degree costs you nothing, and no scholarship is recorded against it. the electrical engineering degree lists three September entry windows, in 2026, 2027 and 2028. Apply Study Visa manages the the electrical engineering degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
