Careers

We work with employers to make sure you graduate with the knowledge, skills and abilities they need. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it – and they offer hands-on, practical opportunities to learn through work-based projects, internships or placements.

There is a wide variety of career opportunities in electrical engineering, ranging from pure research through product design and development, to industrial and business management.

You’ll be able to choose from jobs in medical electronics, environmental monitoring, microelectronics, sound technology, biophysics, power, transport, media, engineering, industrial process control, construction and building services, and teaching.

Throughout the course, we'll help you to think about what you'll do when you graduate. We'll help you with your CV and a personal development plan. You’ll also go on company visits and some lectures are delivered by working engineers. You might even get a job offer from one of the companies that we invite to see students' work: employers tell us that graduates from this course have just the skills they’re looking for.

Graduation doesn’t need to be the end of your time with us. If you’d like to continue your studies we offer a wide range of full-time and part-time postgraduate courses including MSc Electronic and Electrical Engineering.
