BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering – Dual Award Applied Science University (Bahrain)

Overview

The BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering – Dual Award programme from Applied Science University (Bahrain) is designed to embrace industry developments, particularly the ECUK UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).

Key Facts

The programme has a first-year (Level S) that is shared with the other programmes in the College of Engineering. It is designed to bring school leavers in Bahrain and the Gulf region to a standard acceptable for progression to a Level 4 engineering degree programme equivalent to UK approved engineering programmes. The first year is designed to prepare students with the necessary knowledge and skills to continue with their studies at the specialist levels (Years 2/3/4) of the 4-year programme. The first year covers the fundamentals of mathematics and science, and students also learn how to use relevant technology. During the first year, three compulsory modules are required by the Higher Education Council in Bahrain: ‘Arabic Language’ (or ‘Arabic Language for Non-Arabic Speakers’), ‘Bahrain Civilisation and History’, and ‘Human Rights’. These are part of the Kingdom’s strategy to strengthen the level of the Arabic language and promote the Arabic culture.
