Program description
Electronics and Internet of Things (Including Foundation Year) BEng (Hons) (Full-time)
Why study this course?
Our Electronics and Internet of Things (including foundation year) BEng course is ideal if you’d like to study an undergraduate degree but don’t have traditional qualifications or can’t meet the requirements to enter our standard three-year degree. You’ll graduate with the same award and title as students on the standard course.
This four-year degree with a built-in foundation year will equip you with fundamental knowledge concerning electronics, mathematical techniques and computing, as well as vital study skills.
Our Electronics and Internet of Things (including foundation year) BEng course will open doors for you to enter careers in industries that require skills and knowledge relating to the Internet of Things and electronics, such as telecommunications, healthcare and automotives.
Throughout your course you’ll receive exceptional support from our staff, including regular feedback on assessments and your progress. There will also be opportunities to work on your transferable and employability skills, with interview and job application skills workshops organised by our careers service team.
During the foundation year you’ll focus on improving your study skills, while gaining fundamental concepts in electronics, digital systems and mathematics. You’ll find that the skills you gain throughout this year will be applicable to a number of professions and fields of study, helping you to build a portfolio of highly desirable attributes in the real world.
Your foundation year will be shared with students from other foundation year courses, so you’ll get to learn about different areas of study in the School of Computing and Digital Media that will allow you to get a broader perspective on your own study and learn more about other fields in the electronics and computing sector.
In the subsequent three years of your studies you’ll study the same course content and have the same choice of modules as students on our Electronics and Internet of Things BEng degree. If, at the end of your foundation year, you’d like to change your degree specialism there will be flexibility to allow you to do this.
