Why study Electronic & Electrical Engineering at Bath?


The Department equips its graduates with the key engineering skills needed for successful careers in the fast-moving global industry of the 21st Century. Project work is a major strength, with semester 2 of Years 3 and 4 devoted entirely to group and individual project work. Strong partnerships with industry allow an optional paid industrial placement year where students develop business, management and technical skills. These advantages mean the Department’s graduates are highly sought after by employers – typically going on to exciting and rewarding careers in areas such as telecommunications, aerospace, electronics, project management, computing, power and engineering consultancy.


The Department has a long tradition of high-quality teaching and was the first to introduce the now-standard MEng degrees to the UK. All degrees are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Department received the highest possible rating in its last teaching quality assessment by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education. Five degrees are offered. Each is available as either a 4-year MEng or a 3-year BEng. The flexible modular structure makes transfer between degree programmes possible. Well-equipped, open-access laboratories include a specialised 24-hour computing laboratory available to all students and a new dedicated robotics laboratory.


Project and design work are a major feature of all five degrees. This starts in Years 1 and 2 with individual and group design-and- build projects. The entire second semester of Year 3 is dedicated to the Group Design & Business Project, which further develops important technical, design, team-working, communications, financial and marketing skills. The final-year Individual Project occupies the entire second semester of Year 4 and allows very in-depth work on a specialist topic, often connected to one of the Department’s internationally leading-edge research Centres. Recent projects include a voice controlled robot, micro
