Develop your skills and knowledge to play a key role in the rapidly expanding technological industry
Our industry-led courses focus on important themes relevant to electronics, electric vehicle technology, communication systems, smart grids, embedded real-time systems and the ‘Internet of Things’.
Expert teaching
You’ll be taught by research-led academics, some of whom work with CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. This will allow you to understand how the course is applicable in the workplace. You’ll benefit from their first-hand knowledge of the upcoming technological systems and learn how to apply theory to real engineering problems and technologies.
Quality and rankings
Among London universities, we’re ranked 4th for graduates feeling that their careers are on track 15 months after graduating, 5th for research quality and 7th in London overall (Complete University Guide 2026).
Industry recognised degrees
All our courses are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology, which gives you a route to achieving Chartered Engineer status and managing larger engineering projects in the future.
Brilliant industry-grade facilities
You’ll get to work with a variety of equipment including oscilloscopes, controllers and wireless sensors, plus a range of other instrumentation, so you can work on your projects independently. We even have our own printed board and robotic soldering facilities. Our courses will also give you the opportunity to use industry-leading software, including Matlab, Pip and Triple PB3, ensuring you’re using the most current tools to gain a competitive edge in the workplace.
Common engineering first year to build a strong foundation
At Brunel, every engineering student across all five disciplines (aerospace, chemical, civil, electronic and electrical and mechanical and automotive engineering) follow the same first year, so you’ll learn the fundamentals of each subject before continuing with your chosen specialism for the next years. This will give you an unusually broad understanding of engineering principles.
Strong industry connections to find your placement
Industrial placements, although not compulsory, are integral to our undergraduate courses. They will bring your studies to life, giving you excellent work experience and contacts. Our close proximity to many of the UK’s biggest electronics and telecommunications employers – in London and along the M4 corridor – means our placement network is second to none. Recently our students have taken placements with high-profile companies like ARM, BMW, IBM, Centrica, Intel, Mercedes, Microsoft, Motorola, National Grid, Siemens, SSE, 3M and UK Power Networks. Our academics and career advisers will give you guidance and support you during your placement search, from writing your CV to getting prepared for interviews and assessments. They also will be there for you while you're on your placement year if you need any help or support.
Career support
Our Brunel Engineers + is your platform to exhibit your final year project. This event celebrates student achievements and provides the opportunity to network with key industry figures and employers, with leading companies invited to view, judge, and award prizes. In electronic and electrical engineering, diverse career opportunities await you in a rapidly growing field, with our recent graduates finding roles in prominent organisations like IBM, the BBC, Intel, Microsoft, National Grid, and Siemens. Brunel’s proximity to the highest concentration of the UK’s information engineering and telecommunications industry, in London and along the M4 corridor, means our placement and careers network is second to none. Our dedicated career advisers will be available from day one to assist with part-time jobs, placements, internships, and more, supporting you for three years after graduation. For those pursuing further education, we offer a range of masters courses in electronic and electrical engineering.
Get ready with a foundation year
If you don't feel prepared for degree-level study or lack the necessary qualifications, we provide two foundation year choices: Engineering with an Integrated Foundation Year and the Undergraduate Pathway in Engineering.
