Electrical and Electronic Engineering study guide 2024/25
What you can study
Bristol is home to one of Europe's largest clusters of micro-electronics and hi-tech industries, the UK's biggest aerospace companies, renewable energy enterprises, and a thriving creative media industry, making it an ideal location in which to study electrical and electronic engineering. You will learn from world-renowned experts, apply your knowledge in our state-of-the-art laboratories, and benefit from our outstanding industrial links.
You will find units on:
- mathematics and computing
- analogue, digital, and power electronics
- communications
- electromagnetics
Pre-requisites
At UK universities, students specialise from their first year and rarely take units outside their degree subject. This means that:
- Year 1 units are suitable for all students.
- Year 2 units require some university study in the discipline.
- Year 3 units require a strong background in the discipline.
- Masters-level units require three years of study in the discipline.
