About this course

BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering classes in Blackpool. Classes run at Bispham Campus, part-time during the day, over three years.

The course covers electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. You'll also study embedded systems, robotics, and energy technologies. It reflects how the field is moving toward IT, computing, and modern device design. Entry requires a minimum of 48 UCAS points in a relevant subject, including mathematics.

You'll finish with a BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Who this course is for

Electrical and electronic engineering is one of the world's oldest engineering disciplines and has been responsible for some of science's key technological advances thanks to developments in the fields of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. Today, it is increasingly oriented towards IT and computing, embedded systems, robotics, tech and energy to achieve optimisation, simplicity and reliability in the new devices of the 21st century. Our three-year, part-time BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering degree starts at Level 5 and is designed for individuals who have already achieved a relevant Level 4 qualification and ideally want to combine study with existing work commitments. Taking into account the rapidly evolving world of electrical and electronic engineering, this pathway will provide you with a thoroughly up-to-date set of modules. Having mastered the foundational elements of engineering during your Level 4 qualification, here you will move on to explore advanced, practical subject topics such as microprocessors and microcontrollers, control and simulation, embedded systems, digital signal and image processing. Embedded within the modules are hands-on learning opportunities and many innovative activities in a blend of practical and theoretical experiences to enhance employability. Electrical and Electronic Engineering is an exciting specialism which adapts easily to many engineering areas and offers fantastic career opportunities for those interested in technology and innovation. Many of our graduates are now employed by major companies such as EDF Energy, Westinghouse Springfields, Airbus, Leyland Trucks and PACCAR, NIC, GE, and Ford Motor Company as design, production, project or research and development engineers.

Entry requirements

A minimum of 48 UCAS points (excluding Functional Skills) in an appropriate discipline: DD from A levels to include mathematics and a technology, engineering or science-based subject; PPP from Extended Diploma, MP from Diploma, MM from 90 Credit Diploma in a science or technology-based subject, including passes in mathematics.

What you will learn

  • You'll study the principles of electricity and electromagnetism.
  • You'll explore electronics and circuit design.
  • You'll learn about embedded systems and how they work in modern devices.
  • You'll develop knowledge of robotics and automation.
  • You'll study energy technologies and optimisation.
  • You'll gain skills in IT and computing as they apply to engineering.
  • You'll build understanding of reliability and systems design.

How you will learn

The course is delivered through daytime classroom sessions at Bispham Campus. You'll learn through lectures, practical work, and project-based assignments. Assessment typically includes coursework, written examinations, and engineering projects that test both theory and applied skills.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Bispham Campus will confirm anything else you need before you start.
