This course is designed to prepare students for an undergraduate programme in Engineering. It will cover a range of topics that will develop students' understanding and skills for a degree in Engineering. The course material is taught based on the A-Level syllabus, but is more tailored for an  Engineering degree.

Duration:

Electrical and electronics engineers, design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment. This is the largest branch of engineering in the UK and is a very popular profession.

Electronic engineering has a number of further specialisations that includes power engineering, communications, electronics, and control systems.

Electrical engineers who specialize in power are involved in the generating of, transmission, distribution and application of power from such sources as water, fossil fuel, nuclear, and solar energy.

Electrical engineers specializing in communications are involved in equipment engineering, circuit transmissions, traffic plant and acoustical engineering. This branch of engineering designs systems that receive, transmit and deliver information into audio and video forms.

Electronics engineers develop and implement computer systems and enhance electronic aids like heart monitors.

Those with a specialization in control systems, design such products as automatic regulators, guidance systems and robotics controls.

Typical job openings in this profession:

• Circuit Designer
• Control Engineer
• Test Engineers
• Power System Engineers
• Telecoms Engineer
• Communications Engineer
• Robotics Specialist
