Engineering
From smart phones to satellites, learn how Electronic Engineers play a pivotal role in the design and manufacture of a vast range of products and systems.
Recent scientific and technical innovations mean the electronic engineers are central to the design and manufacture of a vast range of products and systems. Our Electronic Engineering degree draws on both industrial and academic experience to provide skills that are aligned with best commercial practices and much sought after by employers.
In the first year students will follow a multidisciplinary route into engineering, with modules covering the core areas of the subject including electronic engineering topics. Specialisation starts in the second year which includes a Design Project in Electronic Engineering. Third and fourth year modules reflect our key research areas including communications, embedded systems, power electronics, ASICs and sensors.
Practical work in electronic engineering begins in the first year, with the third-year individual project forming a major part of the course. Past individual project topics included machine learning, tunable antenna arrays, accelerating applications on FPGAs, and (supported by industry) an Internet-of-Things based electronic nose. Our laboratories are equipped with software and instrumentation to support the varied teaching activities in electronic engineering.
Our graduates are well placed to contribute within a variety of sectors in addition to electronic engineering, such as design and production, energy, transport, the built environment, information and communications.

- MEng Electronic Engineering (H612)
Engineering students at Warwick develop an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of engineering by following a general engineering programme at the start of their time with us. Thereafter, students on the Electronic Engineering degree continue to study the same modules as those on the Electrical & Electronic Engineering programme until the end of the second year. The later years of the degree reflect our key research areas including communications, embedded systems, power electronics, ASICs and silicon-based smart sensors.
If you aspire to achieve Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, a degree from Warwick is a great starting point. The majority of our degrees are accredited by licensed professional engineering institutions, such as the IET, IMechE and JBM and provide the academic component (in part or fully) needed for Chartered Engineer status.

Come and see for yourself what Warwick is all about! Our University Open DaysLink opens in a new window give you the chance to visit the School of Engineering, see the facilities, meet staff and students, tour the campus and get a real feel for life at Warwick. If you apply to study at Warwick and are subsequently made an offer, you may also be invited to an Offer Holder Open Day.
We offer flexible degree programmes that enable you to experience a range of engineering disciplines before you decide to specialise.
All first year students study a general engineering programme, which is much favoured by industry. After the first year, you can specialise in Electronic Engineering, choose another specialism or continue on the general engineering pathway.
Students can also switch from the three-year BEng to the four-year MEng degree if academic requirements and regulations are met, and from the MEng to the BEng if they prefer to graduate earlier.

The information on this page is applicable for 2025 entry. Detailed information for each module can be found on this webpage.
We may make some changes to this degree for 2025 entry. Changes to core and optional modules go through the University's rigorous academic processes. As changes are confirmed, we will update the course information on this webpage. It is therefore very important that you check this webpage for the latest information before you apply and prior to accepting an offer.
Intercalated degrees
Students may choose to spend a year in industry, research or study abroad between years two and three, or between year three and four for MEng. If you choose to take an intercalated year, this will be reflected in your degree title, and add a year to your degree programme.
Tuition fees
Please see the University website for details of tuition fees, financial support and the cost of living.
Scholarships
The School of Engineering is privileged to attract high fliers and seeks to recognise and promote achievement, talent, ideas, hard work and diversity. We regularly offer a number of scholarships.
Electronic Engineering graduates are well placed to contribute within a variety of sectors in addition to electronic engineering, such as design and production, energy, transport, the built environment, information and communications. Our Industrial Advisory Panel supports our aim to provide you with the skills and knowledge required to succeed in industry when you graduate.
Electronic Engineering at Warwick has given me the opportunity to understand a wide range of electronics on a theoretical and practical level. I've worked with cutting edge researchers, allowing me to extend my third year project on solar cells into a summer research project which has since been published. Studying this degree has opened the door to a huge range of careers and has given me the opportunity to go into nuclear fusion research after graduation.
