University of Surrey
Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Foundation Year
Course Summary
**Foundation courses**
A foundation year can develop your skills and make it easier to get started at university. It is an extra year of study at the start of your course that leads in to a full degree programme. It’s a great option if:
You don’t have the grades for a full degree course
You have non-traditional qualifications or experience
You’re starting university after some time away from education
You’re looking for more support during the transition into university study.
**Life as a foundation year student**
During a foundation year you’ll learn about your chosen subject, develop your study skills and get used to university life. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree course.
As a foundation year student, you’ll be a full student of the University and part of our community. You’ll have access to all our campus facilities and support.
**Why choose this course**
Surrey is one of the UK’s leading universities for electrical and electronic engineering, with our courses ranked 6th in the Guardian University Guide 2021.
We’re home to some of the world’s leading centres of research in electronic communication, power and control engineering, renewable energy and signal processing. This means you’ll learn about solving real-world problems from academics who are experts in their fields.
**What you will study**
Our BEng and MEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering courses produce engineers with the skills required to work at the forefront of electrical engineering, power and control.
You’ll discover the latest developments in electrical and electronic engineering through high-quality teaching and our laboratory, fabrication and 3D printing facilities.
Following a common first year in electrical science and electronics, you’ll study specialist topics, including electrical machines, power electronics, power engineering, renewable energy generation and control engineering.
You can apply to study for either a BEng or MEng (Master of Engineering). The MEng builds on the BEng course with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification. Depending on your progress, you may have the option to switch to a BEng or MEng during your studies.
