Overview
Electronic Engineers are changing the world by designing the next generation of technology, from mobile phones and smart medical devices to self-driving cars, electric vehicles and next generation of smart grids.
Our course offers you a broad knowledge and specialised skills so that you are ready for a career in electronic engineering. You will learn to design complex digital and analogue electronic systems, using advanced software tools and gain a solid foundation in programming.
Our core modules will develop your understanding across a range of key topics, and equip you with the foundation of mathematical and physical principals that underpin the subject.
In your second year, you’ll undertake a challenging group project to demonstrate your technical engineering skills including system integration, while practising teamwork and project management.
In your final year you are able to tailor your degree to your interests and study modules in specialist topics such as digital media and social networks, power electronics and embedded systems. You’ll start your supervised individual project where you explore a topic that interests you in detail.
With the rapid pace of change in technology, there’s huge demand for graduates with skills in this field. Throughout your course, you’ll be taught by internationally renowned academics who are actively conducting world-class research. This coupled with our extensive extracurricular activities, outstanding facilities and innovative teaching and learning and excellent student support, ensures that you are fully equipped to enter into a wide range of careers, across the electronics sector.

Professional recognition
This degree is CEng accredited by The IET on behalf of the Engineering Council and fulfils the educational requirements for Chartered Engineer when presented with an accredited MSc.
A suffix "EngC Pathway" will be added to the degree title when a student satisfies the accreditation requirements. In addition, the programme meets the educational requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer.
Progression and award requirements for an accredited BEng/MEng are stricter than these requirements for a standard QMUL BEng/MEng degree. If a student does not satisfy the accreditation requirements but does satisfy the requirements for a standard QMUL BEng/MEng degree, the "EngC Pathway" suffix will not be added.
Structure
You can complete your Electronic Engineering degree in three or four years. If you choose to do a year in industry or study abroad, this will take place in Year 3 and Year 3 modules will instead be studied in Year 4.

Study options
Apply for this degree with any of the following options. Take care to use the correct UCAS code - it may not be possible to change your selection later.
Integrated foundation year
Students who do not have the required high school qualifications for admission to this degree, and students who do not meet their UCAS Conditional offer may be considered for the 4 year degree (foundation year plus the 3 year degree).
International students with Year 12 or a completed international high school certificate qualify for the one year foundation programme commonly known as the ISEFP.
The foundation programme offers a range of transferable skills and an opportunity to improve on your knowledge content for relevant Maths and Science subjects.
You will enrol on an Electronic Engineering BEng with Foundation which will offer progression to a range of degrees in the School of Eletronic Engineering and Computer Science including BEng Electronic Engineering. At the end of the foundation programme, students will be required to meet the progression requirements for admission to BEng Electronic Engineering.
Year in industry
Want to pick up some solid work experience while applying and improving your skills? Apply for our Electronic Engineering BEng with Industrial Experience to spend your third year working for a public- or private-sector organisation in a role directly related to your studies.
Our students have worked with companies including:
- Buhler Sortex
- Caterpillar Inc
- Intel Corporation
- Keysight.
Find out more about degrees with industrial experience.
Please note that placements are highly competitive and awarded based on your application, academic track record and performance at interview. If you are not successful in securing a placement, your third year will be spent at Queen Mary completing your studies.
Year abroad
Go global and study abroad as part of your degree – apply for our Electronic Engineering BEng with a Year Abroad. Queen Mary has links with universities in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia (partnerships vary for each degree programme).
Find out more about study abroad opportunities at Queen Mary and what the progression requirements are.
You can do either a year in industry or a year abroad - you cannot combine these options.
What I enjoyed most about the course is the project work towards the end of the academic year. I’ve worked in a team and individually which gives me the opportunity to apply what I’ve learnt in lectures. I’ve also enjoyed the variety of modules that are taught in my course which has helped me to expand my knowledge in electronics. The lecturers are the most approachable people and are really keen to help students pass.
Teaching
Teaching and learning
You’ll spend 15 to 20 hours per week in lectures, laboratory sessions and tutorials. You will also be expected to complete additional hours of independent study. You’ll meet with your personal adviser regularly to ensure that you are settling in and progressing well.
Assessment
Assessment typically includes a combination of coursework (presentations, assignments, essay report writing, in-class tests, research and project work) and/or examinations in May or June.
Individual and group projects are assessed through a written report, practical demonstration and oral examination.
Resources and facilities
The schools offer excellent on-campus resources to aid your studies, including our newly refurbished, state-of-the-art electronics lab and an informatics teaching laboratory with more than 300 PCs running Linux and Windows.
