Electrical and Electronic Engineering

All our courses are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).  If you take our three year BEng you will need to complete some further learning to satisfy the requirements to achieve Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.

A four year MEng meets all the academics standards for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.

Our Electrical and Electronic Engineering degrees can be taken as the following options:

2023-24 entry

• Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng H628
• Electrical and Electronic Engineering MEng H629
• Electrical and Electronic Engineering with an Industrial Placement Year BEng H633
• Electrical and Electronic Engineering with an Industrial Placement Year MEng H629
• Electrical and Electronic Engineering with a Foundation Year BEng | MEng H602 

We recognise that ability isn't always demonstrated through a standard set of A Level or equivalent qualifications. Our Access Sheffield policies help ensure that everyone who has the potential to succeed on our courses has the right opportunity to do so.

Year in Industry

All of our courses are available with a one-year placement in industry. You will have the opportunity to put your academic studies into context and enhance your employability prospects. With help from our careers and placements team you will find and secure your own placement. You'll have a placement in industry lasting for at least 38 weeks.
