Electronic and Electrical Engineering with International Study 

Overview

Electronic & electrical engineers are the people who design, build, operate and maintain our global power systems, our telecommunications networks and computing infrastructure, and develop electronic systems essential to industry, health and entertainment.

Their aim is to find innovative and progressive solutions to today’s global challenges. That might be technologies to deliver clean energy, systems to improve audio and image quality on your phone, tablet and laptop, or techniques to improve digital imagery in medical devices to aid diagnosis.

Studying electronic and electrical engineering offers all these opportunities and with two million new employees needed in the UK sector by 2020, your career prospects are vast.

The Electronic and Electrical Engineering with International Study programme from the University of Strathclyde  has full accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council which means you can become a ‘chartered engineer’ – a must for most employers.

International experience and studying abroad are highly valued by employers. You’ll study the core electronic & electrical engineering curriculum but with a full year at a partner university overseas. You’ll learn fundamental technical knowledge and relevant analytical skills. You can also take language classes to prepare for your year abroad.
