Bachelor of Engineering - Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Honours) (with placement year)

This sandwich route places the Electrical and Electronic Engineering curriculum around a salaried year in industry — recorded in the source as three years plus a placement year, phrasing preserved in the duration field — with taught content matching the standard BEng across electronics, power, control and embedded systems.

Placement destinations mirror the discipline’s breadth: electronics manufacturers and design consultancies, automation integrators serving Midlands industry, building-services engineering, and the expanding power and renewables sector, each supplying the hands-on system exposure — commissioning, fault-finding, compliance testing — that turns theoretical competence into engineering judgement.

One structural subtlety in the source, preserved here: this sandwich listing records the same three September cycles as its standard sibling, without January windows — so applicants wanting mid-year engineering entry should compare the mechanical and aeronautical placement rows in this sheet, where January windows do appear, before settling their timeline — a small comparison that regularly saves applicants an unnecessary eight-month wait.

The professional arithmetic favours the year strongly: industrial experience banks toward chartered-status requirements, host companies convert placement engineers into graduate hires as their default recruitment channel, and the discipline’s shortage economics mean placement students frequently field offers before final year begins. September cycles at £17,300 taught-year fees match the standard listing.

Counsel it plainly: in Britain’s most undersupplied engineering field, the sandwich route converts a strong qualification into a near-certain employment outcome, and the placement salary largely funds itself. The four-year finish sits inside the 18-month Graduate Route settlement for post-2026 applications, and dependants cannot accompany students on taught study.
