Apply NowSkills in electrical and electronic engineering are essential in a world that seeks net zero, medical breakthroughs and many of the devices and systems we use every day. The IEA’s World Energy Outlook (2021) claimed that 13.3 million new global jobs would be created by the low carbon agenda by 2030 and most of these jobs would require electrical and electronic engineering skills. In studying the Foundation degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Aberystwyth University you will develop these essential skills, from analogue and digital electronics to real-life applications like communications and renewables.
At Aberystwyth we embed a ‘can-do’ approach to problem-solving within this degree programme with employability in mind, so that on graduation our students will have the confidence, skills and knowledge to effectively deliver in these extremely lucrative opportunities, whether they are industrial or commercially based, and contribute positively to our changing world.
Aberystwyth University will be working with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) to ensure that this new degree will receive IET accreditation when the first cohort graduates in 2028. IET accreditation will be subject to approval by the IET at that time.
This course is available for September 2024 entry.
