rewarding career at the forefront of technology. Your points can be from any qualification on the UCAS tariff, but at least 80 points should be from two or more
A levels, or a combination of appropriate Level 3 qualifications. You also need A level Maths at grade C or
above (or equivalent).
You’ll be taught by research-active staff with years of experience and invaluable
industry contacts. They build their research into our degrees – so you’ll get expert
teaching of the most advanced ideas. For more information, please visit www.hull.ac.uk/ugelectronic
Our courses are designed in collaboration with industry. They combine key skills
such as analysis, design and business awareness with a deep understanding of
technology to make you attractive to employers. You can explore up-to-the-minute
fields including smart power, instrumentation, process control, communications and
remote sensing.
Our excellent facilities mean that you’ll be trained using the latest techniques and
equipment. For example, you’ll be able to work in our embedded systems labs,
robotics labs and 3D printing lab, where you can design and manufacture models
and prototypes and then test them.
Our electronic engineering courses were the first in the UK to gain Institution of
Engineering and Technology (IET) accreditation. All our degrees are fully accredited
and are recognised qualifications towards Chartered Engineer status. BEng courses
fully meet the academic requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer
and partly for Chartered Engineer registration. MEng degrees fully meet the
academic requirements for becoming a Chartered Engineer.
We’re always looking to improve our courses. Which means we do review our modules from time to time,
to make sure they’re of a high standard and are relevant to you and to your potential future employers.
The information in this guide is correct at the time of going to print, but some of the modules could change
before 2021. Please contact our admissions team if you do have any questions or for further information on
admissions@hull.ac.uk.
