Electronic Engineering BEng at Kings College London

Overview

Our Electronic Engineering BEng course focuses on four key areas in electronics: circuits and systems, signal processing, computing and communication. You will develop in-depth knowledge of and practical expertise in circuit analysis and design, communication systems, computation and software programming for engineers, and hardware design, which will provide a foundation for senior roles in electronics, signal processing, and communication industries.

Key benefits

• Unique combination of electronic engineering, computer science and robotics modules.
• You'll gain a broad understanding of how engineering translates to everyday life through mobile and personal communications as well as information security.
• You'll benefit from our longstanding links with various companies, including Orange, Vodafone, Nokia, NEC, BT and Texas Instruments.
• Our modules are designed to enhance employability and give you transferable and entrepreneurial skills.

Description

Our course will provide you with broad knowledge and an in-depth understanding of electronic engineering and design techniques. The diverse nature of our course will give you a strong foundation in electronic engineering along with general communication, control and computer systems. There is also a strong focus on developing mathematical skills, which you will use to analyse the performance of communication and control systems.

You will study modules across electronic circuits, communication systems, introduction to robotics, foundations of computing, and hardware design with optional modules in the final year to specialise in artificial intelligence planning, robotic systems, telecommunication networks and other advanced topics. This course will challenge you to think more broadly, translating electronic engineering into everyday life through cryptography, and computer vision and wireless networks.
