This course allows you to top-up your existing qualification to a full honours degree in one year.

 

On this course you'll complete a major project related to your selected topic of electrical engineering. The project needs to demonstrate the skills expected of degree-level students, including a clear argument, rigorous data, critical analysis and solid conclusions.

 

Teaching is enriched by our research into areas such as automotive mechatronics, control engineering, materials and structural analysis, manufacturing systems and advanced maintenance.

 

Sunderland has excellent facilities including laboratories for electronics, robotics and programmable logic controllers. We also have workshops and advanced modelling software that is the latest industry standard.

 

Please contact us to discuss part-time options.

 

Teaching methods include lectures, seminars, group work, laboratory projects and e-learning. We encourage you to develop independent study skills. You will also have opportunities to present ideas to other students and develop concepts within groups.

 

As well as assessments that count towards your degree, there are also ongoing assessments for feedback and consolidating your learning. Assessment methods include exams, multiple-choice tests and projects.

 

This course can be studied full-time and part-time. If you study the one-year top-up, full-time, you will be on campus two to three days a week. If you study across two years, part-time, you will be on campus one day per week.

 

Full and part-time Level 2 top-up options are also available which are likely to include teaching over three days a week.
