You will spend your third year abroad at an English-speaking partner university following a similar curriculum to the one taught in Bristol. To find out more about studying abroad, visit Centre for Study Abroad.

In the fourth year, you will benefit from units which are informed by the latest technological developments and underpinned by research-informed teaching.

Through our close collaboration with industry, you will benefit from excellent employment prospects. Recent graduate employers include Intel, BBC, Dyson, Jaguar Land Rover, Siemens, Hewlett-Packard, EDF Energy and many others.

Following substantial changes to the degree programme to bring it in alignment with current technology and the skills which are most desirable to potential employers it will have to undergo a formal reaccreditation process, and this can only occur once the first cohort completes the new programme. However, we have a very successful track record of achieving accreditation from the IET for all our programmes.
