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.
