BEng (Honours) Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technology
Degree apprenticeship
Study for a career at the highest level of engineering, with a work-based apprenticeship course designed to help you become a electrical or electronic technical support engineer.
How does the degree apprenticeship work?
You study a university course alongside 30+ hours of employment a week – so you'll need a relevant job role before you apply. The combination of the course and the job has to meet a national ‘apprenticeship standard’ – in this case the Embedded Electronic Systems Design and Development Engineer standard and Electrical or Electronic Technical Support Engineer. So you get to study for a recognised qualification, while earning a salary and having no student fees to pay.
Our next start date for this course will be in October 2023
The course normally takes 3.5 years part-time – you'll complete an endpoint assessment within this time frame or within a further 6 months.
1. Course summary
- Learn electrical principles and specialisms across electronic and embedded systems.
- Gain design and implementation skills and apply them in projects on the job.
- Work towards chartered engineer status to help you advance your career.
If you’re interested in how and why things work, we can help you develop the problem-solving skills and knowledge you need to answer these questions. You'll also be working towards accreditation from The Institution of Engineering and Technology, which will help you to prove your expertise and advance your career.
2. How you learn
You’ll study a range of electrical and electronic engineering specialisms, including the design and implementation of networks using communications and signal processing techniques, appropriate engineering management, and instrumentation and control systems. You’ll also gain the professional skills you need for a successful career, including business awareness and product design standards and legislation.
