Electrical and electronic engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines and uses cutting-edge technology to address some of the major concerns of the modern world. There is a growing demand for skilled graduates to work in industries such as consumer electronics, alternative energy and transport, medical engineering, and communications. Years one and two provide a strong grounding in mathematics, computing, analogue and digital electronics, communications, electromagnetics, electrical systems, and control. Year three includes a group design project and specialist units in electrical, electronic and communication subjects. In the fourth year you will undertake an individual project and choose from a wide variety of optional taught units which are informed by the latest technological developments and underpinned by research-informed teaching. The first three years are common with the [BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/2027/electrical-electronic-engineering/beng-electrical-and-electronic-engineering//) and transfer on to the BEng is possible before the end of year three.
