BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Degree Apprenticeship)

Our BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Embedded Electronic Systems Design and Development Engineer Degree Apprenticeship) is aimed at those who are committed to developing their career in this challenging and exciting industry. The course has been informed by employers and is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). This degree incorporates the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by the Level 6 Embedded Electronic Systems Design and Development Engineer (ST0151) so your staff can learn to apply their knowledge of electronics and embedded systems to the design of useful, reliable and safe circuits and devices for manufacture at a competitive cost.

Your apprentices will spend 80% of their time at work and 20% at the University, usually on a day-release basis. Study at the University of Bolton complements learning in the workplace, supporting your apprentices as they learn to understand, enhance, design and support electrical- and electronics-based technology. Offering a solid foundation in the fundamental scientific and mathematical principles underpinning engineering, this course can prepare apprentices for higher-level responsibilities within your organisation. Our expert team will support them as they develop the ability to bring concepts to life through a combination of engineering know-how, engineering problem and system modelling, computer-aided design, testing and manufacturing skill, and engineering management knowledge. We’ll guide your apprentices, helping them gain skills in logical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and teamwork, as well as a focus on quality, ethics, and safety.

This degree apprenticeship allows you to offer structured training, a recognised degree-level qualification, and support towards professional registration with the IET, helping you attract the best new talent and retain valued staff through career progression. Studying flexibly alongside work allows apprentices to put their new skills and understanding into practice without delay, benefitting your organisation immediately.

If you’re looking for undergraduate-level training in this subject area but don’t work for an employer offering apprenticeships, please see our related courses section for details of study opportunities that don’t require current employment.
