Introduction
From transport to communications to commerce, electronics is revolutionising every industry, changing the way we live, work and play. As we enter the fourth industrial revolution and shape our lives around connected technology, find your place in this exciting field with our BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering degree.
The electronics industry leads the creation of consumer tech that we’ll all soon be using. Working in the electronics sector is often fast-paced and dynamic. Engineers work in different areas of electronics, including the design of microchips, tech manufacturing, product testing and development. Currently, the industry is focused on wireless charging, the Internet of Things and contactless payments, but new trends and inventions emerge all of the time.
Our Electronic Engineering degree is taught by internationally recognised engineers and researchers, who will shape you for an exciting career in electronic design and consultancy. You'll build problem-solving and group design skills, and be ready to find an exciting electronics-based role.
You will:
- Learn all aspects of electronic engineering, from analogue electronics to mobile networking to WAN.
- Develop the skills to solve a wide range of technical challenges and opportunities that can shape exciting and innovative consumer tech.
- Benefit from the engineering department’s strong industry connections and research into innovative, trending technologies.
- Learn in advanced electronics laboratories and facilities at our Peel Park and MediaCityUK campuses.
- Gain valuable experience by including an industrial placement year in your studies.
Ideal Students
This is for you if...
- You are excited about electronics, with a keen interest in science and technology.
- You are a problem-solver who enjoyed mathematics or physics at school/college.
- You want to gain a recognised degree and build relevant electronic engineering skills.
Curriculum
Having the ability to apply technical detail is at the heart of engineering, and core to Salford’s values, so we strive to embed this as a core learning objective throughout your studies.
In year one and two, you'll explore analogue and digital electronics, electronics systems, telecommunications, digital systems design, digital signal processing and computer networking. You'll conclude your studies by completing a final year project, with the opportunity to choose a topic based on your electronics interests.
Learning Experience
Located at the heart of the property and construction market, Salford is a great place to study electronic engineering. We take advantage of our amazing location at the heart of Greater Manchester to visit nearby world-famous engineering projects and gain hands-on experience.
By your final year, you will focus on power and control systems, embedded systems, and hybrid and electric cars. Now more than ever, there is a vulnerable supply of energy so the move to electrical cars will reduce the reliance on fossil fuels.
This is a dynamic sector, and the pace of change is unprecedented, so our modules aim to evolve with this change by producing qualified professionals ready to test and design new products.
