In a world filled with smart devices and rapid advancements in automation, from robotics and driverless vehicles to artificial intelligence, there is huge demand for engineers who can work on both the software and the underpinning electronic and electrical frameworks that support and enable modern intelligent systems. In this course, a lot of what you’ll learn will be through hands-on practical labs, working both individually and in groups. Accredited by the [Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET),](https://www.theiet.org/) students benefit from strong graduate outcomes and competitive starting salaries. Our course provides the required professional expertise you need for a successful career in engineering or in a variety of other professions. Through a combination of lecture material and extensive lab-based projects, working individually and in small teams, you will build the numerical, analytical and technical knowledge and skills to meet the engineering challenges of the future. All undergraduate students in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering initially follow a common programme of study, learning the fundamental skills of this discipline. As you progress through the course, the core content and practical projects will focus towards your area of specialisation. During your second year, you can study at either our [China or Malaysia campus](https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/currentstudents/study-abroad/index.aspx) where you will have the opportunity to continue your academic studies, whilst experiencing a new culture and environment. You will be taught in English from the same curriculum as the UK course and will have dedicated pastoral support. This course offers significant flexibility to transfer to any other EEE strand after joining, where this is possible. **Why choose this course?** **Course highlights** * Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). * Practical lab-based sessions to help you develop skills for your future career. * Get dedicated careers and placement support within the Faculty of Engineering. Graduate destinations include Rolls-Royce, BMW Group, Kindeva, Leonardo Helicopters and BAE Systems. **Proven results** * We’re ranked 8th in the UK for electrical and electronic engineering (Daily Mail University Guide 2026). * 93.2% of electrical and electronic engineering undergraduates secured graduate level employment or further study within 15 months of graduation (HESA Graduate Outcomes 2021/22-2022/23).

(no less than 5.5 in any element) As well as IELTS, we also accept other English language qualifications. This includes TOEFL iBT, Pearson PTE, GCSE, IB and O level English. Check our English language policies and equivalencies for further details. If you need support to meet the required level, you may be able to attend a Presessional English for Academic Purposes (PEAP) course. Our Centre for English Language Education is accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English in the UK. If you successfully complete your pre-sessional course to the required level, you can then progress to your degree course. This means that you won't need to retake IELTS or equivalent. Please note: For pre-sessional English or one-year foundation courses, you must take IELTS for UKVI to meet visa regulations.
