Electrical and Electronic Engineering BEng at Queens University Belfast

Electrical and Electronic Engineering has a place in every part of 21st century life, from the cars we drive (or which drive us!) to the homes we live in, and is widely considered one of the broadest and most useful engineering disciplines. Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Queen's is concerned with solving practical problems using electrical and electronic science.

In a world where self-driving cars, sustainable energy, smart home technology and the Internet of Things are becoming a widespread reality, there is immeasurable potential growth. With a worldwide shortage of qualified engineers, a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is an excellent investment in your future.

The subject area is broad, ranging from micro-electronic chip design and manufacture to power generation and distribution. Rapid advances in fields such as telecommunications, computer software, hardware and networking, medical electronics, security, virtual and augmented reality, control and robotics and renewable energy systems demand experienced and talented engineers. Due to this high demand across such a broad range of sectors, there is a critical shortage of graduates locally, nationally and internationally. EEE graduates therefore have an excellent chance of gaining well-paid jobs in very diverse areas upon graduation.

Employer experience is embedded into this course and allows students to engage and learn from prospective employers from day one. Industry placements, company sponsored hackathons and challenges are a core part of the curriculum and vastly improve our graduate’s employability rates.
