Electrical Engineering or Electronic Engineering with a Modern Language (H6T9 and H6TX)

It is increasingly important for engineers to have a European perspective. Our courses give students an opportunity to study abroad in Year 3. Under the Erasmus programme, you would have the option of studying at one of the high quality universities with which we have an exchange agreement. Currently, we have arrangements with France, Germany and Spain. You will need to achieve an acceptable standard in both your core courses and language course in Year 2 if you wish to study abroad.

During Years 1 and 2 of the course, you will take a module appropriate for the necessary language tuition. By the end of Year 2, you will have covered the same technical core as other students and can either transfer to a suitable Year 3 in a European exchange university, or continue on our courses in Sheffield.

On your return from abroad, you will undertake an individual research project and courses will be selected to match those taken abroad, in order to ensure that you have covered a balanced curriculum over the two year period.
