This programme has been specifically developed for international students who wish to study in the UK for one year in order to further their studies to BEng(Hons) level. Students will normally transfer from colleges and universities who have partnered with UWE. Their programmes will be recognised as meeting the pre-requisite learning outcomes for the modules contained in this course. Electronic and communication engineers play a major role in the development of the existing and future technologies. We have to cope with the ever changing technology meeting the constant challenge of making things faster, better, cleaner and cheaper. Without them, you wouldn't be able to text your friends, play the latest computer game or even listen to your favourite CD. This top up degree will build on your earlier studies, equipping you with the knowledge and skills to design such systems. We pride ourselves on the industrial relevance of our courses and the learning programme puts heavy emphasis on the blend of taught knowledge with student-centred problem solving exercises. The course is modular with a carefully balanced combination of modules aimed at producing graduates who can enter industry and make an immediate contribution. Electronic and Communication engineers are involved in: * Electronic systems used in a wide range of applications * Aerospace systems, including for communication * Robotics * Communication systems * Medical electronics

Demand for graduates with expertise in electronic and communications engineering is high. You will be able to pursue a career as an electronic or communications systems designer to solve engineering problems for communications and electronics companies. You may also work for end-user companies in this high technology area. We would expect graduates to gain employment as Electronic Engineers, Communication Engineers and Systems Engineers in a wide range of industries.
