Surrey is one of the UK's leading universities for electrical and electronic engineering, with our courses ranked 3rd in the Guardian University Guide 2019 and top ten in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2018.The University leads the way in areas such as nanotechnology, vision and signal processing, mobile and wireless communications, multimedia engineering, and space satellite engineering – and our BEng Electronic Engineering course draws on this research excellence.On our BEng Electronic Engineering **(with Foundation Year)** course you will focus on applying theory to real engineering problems and technologies.Time spent working in our well-equipped laboratories will bring what you learn in lectures to life, while you’ll also get the chance to work with academics from our research centres – such as the 5G Innovation Centre, Surrey Space Centre, Advanced Technology Institute, and Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing – through individual and group project work.At Surrey, you will learn about solving real-world problems from academics who are experts in their fields. You will be exposed to the latest developments in electronic engineering through high-quality teaching and exceptional facilities.We’re always looking to make it easier to access the education we offer, so we have launched the option of taking a degree with a foundation year.A foundation year 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.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.
