This engineering apprenticeship enables apprentices to advance their careers as embedded electronic design engineers at their current place of work.

 

Degree apprenticeships give apprentices industry-relevant skills, mostly through learning in the workplace. Employers lead staff development, with course fees subsidised by government funding. Our degree apprenticeship in embedded electronic systems gives apprentices the key skills and design techniques required for this field of engineering. The course covers electrical components and circuits, digital hardware and software design, analogue electrical design techniques, and project planning. The degree benefits employers and employees from a range of sectors, including the aerospace, automotive, robotics, telecommunications and consumer electronics industries. This degree apprenticeship is being restructured in collaboration with employers, professional bodies and student feedback. This ensures we develop degrees that are aligned with the latest industry trends. (This is standard UK practice across institutions.) The course duration will change from 5 to 4 years and we anticipate this to be finalised by 2024.
