Programme Overview
This programme develops an understanding of electrical and electronic principles, systems thinking and the processes used to design and evaluate technical solutions. The curriculum examines circuits, electronics, control, signals, embedded systems and energy technologies, linking conceptual study with current questions in safe, effective and sustainable engineered systems.
Blended learning activities support the interpretation of circuit behaviour, system models and design decisions alongside structured online study. You will work through guided activities, applied scenarios and peer discussion, developing a disciplined approach to evidence, communication and independent work.
The curriculum combines analytical rigour with attention to safety, sustainability and the professional responsibilities associated with engineering design. Learning is organised for online participation, with clear milestones, tutor feedback and space to connect ideas across the programme. Throughout, opportunities to compare perspectives and receive formative feedback help consolidate your understanding, refine your judgement and prepare you to engage confidently with unfamiliar professional challenges. The final stage invites you to bring your learning together in a sustained piece of work.
