Course summary

This course allows you to top up your existing qualification to a full honours degree in one year.

On this course you'll complete a major project related to your selected topic of electrical engineering. The project needs to demonstrate the skills expected of degree-level students, including a clear argument, rigorous data, critical analysis, and solid conclusions.

Teaching is enriched by our research into areas such as automotive mechatronics, control engineering, materials and structural analysis, manufacturing systems, and advanced maintenance.

Sunderland has excellent facilities including laboratories for electronics, robotics, and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). We also have workshops and advanced modelling software that is the latest industry standard.

What you'll study

Many of our courses include a range of modules you can choose from. Some of these options may only be available if you’ve already studied specific required modules. If you’re not sure what you need before picking a module, your course leader can help.

Undergraduate module credits should total 120 credits per academic year. If optional modules are available alongside core modules on your course, you should choose an amount that totals 120 credits.

How you'll learn

Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, group work, laboratory projects, and e-learning. We encourage you to develop independent study skills. You'll also have opportunities to present ideas to other students and develop concepts within groups.

As well as assessments that count towards your degree, there are ongoing assessments for feedback and consolidating your learning. Assessment methods include exams, multiple-choice tests, and projects.
