Engineering (Electrical)

About this course

Electrical engineering is the discipline concerned with the generation, transmission, and application of electrical energy and the design of the electronic systems that underpin almost every aspect of modern technology. From the power grids that light cities and run factories to the microchips inside smartphones and the algorithms controlling autonomous vehicles, electrical engineering is foundational to the technological infrastructure of contemporary life. The discipline encompasses power systems, electronics, communications, control engineering, signal processing, and increasingly the interface between hardware and software in complex embedded and networked systems. At the University of Durham, you will study electrical engineering over four years, with the programme including a sandwich year with a work placement and a year abroad. This extended structure gives you professional expe
