This course shares a common Year 1 (Credit Level 4) with the Computer Systems Engineering MEng/BEng degree. Project-based learning plays a large part in the courses, with project modules highly valued by employers. In Year 2 (Credit Level 5) these include a voice-over amplifier project, and the Micromouse maze-solving competition. In Year 3 (Credit Level 6) you take an individual project of your choice, as well as a group project tackling the design of a very large scale integrated (VLSI) programmable processor.
You can transfer to Computer Systems Engineering MEng/BEng at the end of the common first year. Subject to performance, it is also possible to transfer from the BEng to the MEng in Electronic Engineering at the end of Year 2 (Credit Level 5).
Electronics has been taught at Westminster for more than 110 years, and electronic systems are used just about everywhere in modern society. A strong mathematical and theoretical teaching approach coupled with practical project work equips our graduates with the know-how to become system designers and researchers.
Depending on your area of interest, you will pursue one of several pathways. For the BEng course these are microelectronics or digital communications, while the pathways for the MEng course are embedded systems, microelectronic systems and wireless systems.
