BEng (Honours) Electrical Engineering
Degree apprenticeship top-up
Top up your foundation degree apprenticeship or prior experience by gaining a degree qualification while you work.
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 either the Control/Technical Support Engineer, the Electrical/Electronic Support Engineer or the Embedded Electronic Systems Design and Development 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 is September 2019
The course normally takes 2 years part-time – then you'll complete an endpoint assessment within a further 6 months.
1. Course summary
- Develop your qualifications to degree-level to help you progress your career further.
- Learn techniques you’ll need to create, test and maintain engineering applications.
- Increase your foundation knowledge and gain specialist knowledge for your industry.
This accredited top-up course is ideal if you have a HND, foundation degree or relevant prior experience and you’d like to increase your training to degree-level. EEF’s ‘Skills for Growth’ report said 73% of manufacturers found it difficult to recruit an engineering professional, so this qualification will help you to advance your career further and provide highly coveted expertise.
2. How you learn
You’ll learn electrical and power electronic systems, robotics, engineering control systems and more – as well as specialised knowledge for different industries. You’ll also gain the professional skills you need for a successful career, and the assessment tasks you’ll undertake mirror many of the projects that industry experts carry out.
