Overview

hp-01-tab

Our Electrical & Electronic Engineering degrees allow you to develop specialist knowledge of the scientific concepts, design and methods relating to electrical and electronic engineering products, processes and systems.

Students begin their time with us by following a multidisciplinary route into engineering, with modules covering the core areas of the subject, including electrical and electronic engineering topics. Specialisation starts in the second year which includes a Design Project in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

In third and fourth year, Electrical & Electronic Engineering students focus on power electronics, electrical machines, systems modelling and the operation and control of power systems. Modules in these years reflect our key research areasLink opens in a new window including power electronics and systems, communications, embedded systems and sensors.

Practical work in electrical and electronic engineering begins in the first year, with the third-year individual project forming an important part of the course. Past individual project topics included a test system for power semiconductors, an Internet-of-Things enabled air quality monitor, and (supported by industry) power electronics for delivering satellites to space. Our laboratories are equipped with software and instrumentation to support the varied teaching activities in electrical and electronic engineering.

Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduates contribute to a variety of sectors and industries such as power electronics, electrical power generation, aerospace, automotive, marine engineering and a sustainable environment.

Degrees

hp-02-tab

  • BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering (H605)
  • MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering (H606)

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 Electrical & Electronic Engineering degree continue to study the same modules as those on the Electronic Engineering programme until the end of the second year. The later years of the degree cover power electronics, electrical machines, systems modelling and the operation and control of power systems.

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.

Course structure

hp-04-tab

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 Electrical & 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 course structure below is relevant to students applying for entry in 2024.


Year 1

In your first year you will be taught the fundamentals of engineering, which you will build on in later years according to your interests.

The information on this page is applicable for 2024 entry. Detailed information for each module can be found on this webpage.

We may make some changes to this degree for 2024 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.
