Your electrical and electronic engineering journey


Congratulations! You've earned a place at one of the UK's leading departments of electrical and electronic engineering and we couldn’t be more excited to welcome you.

If you haven’t already accepted your offer, it’s time to take the next step and start shaping your future.


A world-class education with heart and ambition

Our degrees are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). That means your degree isn’t just valuable, it’s trusted by employers, researchers, and professionals across the globe.

Excellence that matters

Our department is home to world-leading research groups, and we’re also the first UK member of the Chilean Institute of Clean Technologies.

You’ll be taught by experts who are driving innovation in areas like electric transport, satellite communications, and smart power systems. This means your lectures, seminars, and assignments are built on the latest thinking and real-world insights.

A place to grow, learn and belong

University Park is a stunning blend of nature, history, and culture. With acres of green parkland, beautiful historic buildings, and a picturesque boating lake, it’s a truly inspiring place to live and learn.

You’ll study in purpose-built project labs, design studios, collaborative teaching spaces, and dedicated electronics workshops. Our facilities include 3D printing capabilities, autonomous vehicle development areas, and immersive VR classrooms — all designed to support your creativity and innovation.

 

Personal tutor

You can talk to your personal tutor about all sorts of things: 

  • How your course is going. What you’re enjoying, what’s tricky, and how to improve if you want to. 
  • How you’re settling in, whether you’re feeling at home, or if you’re struggling 
  • Anything that might be affecting your wellbeing, big or small. 

 

Shape your journey, your way

Our modules will give you a strong foundation in electrical and electronic engineering while exploring emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, automation, and digital communications.

You’ll learn through a mix of theory, hands-on experimentation, and collaborative projects, developing the skills to design, build, and optimise complex systems.


Learning that goes beyond the classroom

You could spend a year abroad at our campuses in China or Malaysia. This experience will introduce you to new academic environments, teaching styles, and cultural viewpoints. This will broaden your intellectual horizons and develop your critical thinking.

You can choose to take a year in industry, working full-time in a role that matches your interests. Past students have worked with companies like Rolls-Royce, BMW Group, Leonardo Helicopters, and BAE Systems, contributing to cutting-edge projects in electronics, communications, and automation.

Come and see for yourself


Join us for an on-campus experience day and get a real feel for life at Nottingham. You’ll meet your future lecturers, chat with current students, and take part in taster sessions that bring your course to life.


This is more than a degree. It’s your future.

We’re here to support you, challenge you, and celebrate your success, every step of the way. Let’s start this journey together.

And remember, you can chat to our students on The Student Room or contact our friendly Student Enquiries team.
