**Course Overview**
- Focus on the fundamental principles of electronic engineering and the programming skills necessary for modern embedded system design with our Foundation Entry Degree in Electronic Engineering.
- Foundation Entry degree courses are designed for students who have the ability to study for a degree, but don’t have the necessary formal qualifications to directly enter their chosen Honours degree programme.
- This degree focuses on the fundamental principles of electronic engineering and the programming skills necessary for modern embedded system design. It equips you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to thrive in this rapidly evolving field.
- You’ll develop an understanding of current practice in electronic system design, including analogue and digital electronic systems, microprocessors and microcontrollers, IC and FPGA design, signal analysis and conditioning, and interfacing and communications.
**Why study with us**
- Access cutting-edge resources through our Advanced Digital Manufacturing Technology (ADMT) facility.
- Experience state-of-the-art manufacturing hardware and software: CISCO industrial networks; manufacturing execution systems; and industrial robots.
- Specialise in your chosen area through module choices, including digital design, signal processing, real-time systems, neural networks and communications.
**Further information**
- There’s also an option for a year-long industrial placement before your final year. This will be a great opportunity for you to broaden your practical work experience and to consolidate your learning. Placements often lead to enhanced final year performance, and provide you with a competitive edge in your early career.
