Introduction
From aerospace engineering, health care and mobile phones to the growing need for renewable energy solutions, electronic and electrical systems are constantly evolving. So the demand for talented engineers continues to rise.
Engineers and technologists are needed across all industries. So when you graduate, you'll find varied, challenging and rewarding careers developing the technology that touches every strand of modern life.
Our Electrical and Electronic Engineering degrees are fully accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology. They count as recognised qualifications on the way to Chartered Engineer status.
But it’s not all study and works - there are lots of extra-curricular activities for you to get involved with as well. Become part of our Hull Electric Racing team and you could be building a single-seater racing car and competing against other students at Silverstone. There’s a robotics society and you’ll have access to our state-of-the-art FabLab, packed with 3D printers to build your prototypes.
How you'll study
Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,200 hours per year. That’s based on 200 hours per 20 credit module. And it includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time’s divided among each of these varies each year and depends on the course and modules you study.
6 reasons to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Hull
- First in the UK to be accredited by the IET#
- Great job prospects due to UK skills shortfall
- Benefit from our new robotics and 3D printing labs
- Direct pathway to Chartered Engineer status
- Course designed in collaboration with industry
- Build a racing car with the Hull Electric Racing team
Career Opportunities
Your future prospects
- Aerospace engineer
- Broadcast engineer
- CAD technician
- Control and instrumentation engineer
- Design engineer
- Electrical/electronic engineer
The mathematical capabilities, problem-solving skills, ability to understand innovative concepts and experience of working in teams that you gain as an engineering graduate are much in demand.
You will also find that your engineering degree makes you highly sought-after by leading companies in the global marketplace.
Your engineering degree can therefore lead to a career anywhere in the world. Our graduates have gone on to work with companies such as Alstom, BAE Systems, Corus, GlaxoSmithKline, the armed forces and the Health and Safety Executive.
