Undergraduate Courses in Electronics and
Telecommunications Engineering
Electronics is essential to the modern world of instant global communication.
Applications include digital media for audio and video storage and reproduction;
mobile telephony based on sophisticated digital speech compression and advanced
radio techniques and antennas; satellite navigation systems which can pinpoint a
location anywhere on earth to within a metre; digital cameras and camcorders at
affordable prices; and automated manufacturing that makes many products reliable
and inexpensive.
Telecommunications has been revolutionised by modern electronics, making
possible worldwide instant telephony with automated international dialling, and
of course, the Internet is possible only because of advanced optical
communication which links the continents with sufficient capacity to carry all
the intercontinental Internet and telephony traffic over submarine cables. None
of this would be possible without the technology, but it is also the design and
development engineers, graduates in electronic engineering and
telecommunications engineering that make possible the products that we all use,
directly or indirectly in our daily lives.
Demand for electronics engineers and telecommunications engineers is high
throughout the world. The profession offers a range of careers from design and
development to marketing, management, production engineering and applications
engineering. Graduates in the field also find employment in other disciplines
because of the highly numerate nature of the subject.
BEng Electronic Engineering and BEng Telecommunications Engineering have a
common first year and transferal between the two degrees is possible at any time
up to the start of the second year. Both degrees include significant
mathematical content, and this is why we require a suitable mathematics
qualification on entry.
