Electrical & Electronic Engineering
BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering (Top-up) - Awarded by University of Lancashire
Is this course for me?
Already completed your HND or foundation degree in engineering and looking to achieve a full honours degree?
This top-up degree is ideal for aspiring engineers who want to specialise in power engineering. You'll deepen your knowledge in areas such as electrical machines, energy systems, and power electronics, while enhancing your problem-solving, project management and critical thinking skills.
It's designed for adult learners balancing study with other commitments, with a part-time schedule that supports working professionals and career changers.
You will study 120 credits at Level 6, combining a core engineering project with specialist modules that develop advanced knowledge in power systems and electrical technologies.
Modules include:
• Professional Engineering Project (studied across both years)
• Circuits, Networks and Electromagnetic Waves
• Control Engineering
• Fundamentals of Electrical Machines, Generation, Transmission and Distribution Plant
• Power Electronics
Modules are subject to review and may change in line with industry developments.
Assessment includes:
• Written assignments
• Presentations
• Exams
• Practical and project-based work
The Professional Engineering Project is studied across both years and forms the core of your final assessment.
You'll study part time for two academic years with a mix of classroom, lab and project-based learning. You'll typically attend one day per week.
You'll need:
• A relevant HND or foundation degree in Engineering (240 credits, with 120 at Level 5)
• GCSE Maths at grade 4/C or above (or equivalent)
We welcome applications from mature students with relevant experience, portfolios, or employer references. Applicants may be invited to interview.
This degree supports:
• Career progression - Move into senior technical, design, or management roles in engineering sectors
• Postgraduate study - Progress to MSc programmes at University of Lancashire or other institutions
• Professional recognition - The BEng is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the
purposes of partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
You'll study in the College's industry-standard engineering labs and workshops, with access to simulation software and hands-on design tools.
As part of the Greater Manchester Institute of Technology (GMIoT), this course benefits from strong employer links, guest talks and curriculum input from organisations such as Sellafield, Jacobs and Nuvia. The BEng is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
You'll also benefit from:
• A free student membership of the IET
• Access to University of Lancashire online library and resources
• A free scientific calculator and core textbook (Advanced Engineering Mathematics by K.A. Stroud)
• MATLAB software and a project budget for your final year project
Teaching is delivered by qualified professionals with expertise in power engineering, nuclear decommissioning, design, and manufacture.
Build the future of engineering with a degree that combines technical excellence, real-world projects, and employer credibility.
