Bachelors of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (BE) Honours Degree (CK 605)

The CK605 degree course is an internationally accredited four-year honours professional engineering programme which incorporates a five-month

paid work placement element between third year and final year. At final year level, a wide range of subject options enable students to tailor their degree specialisation to suit their particular interests and career ambitions. Most courses are accompanied by practical laboratory classes or project work. In this way, students gain experience in the use and application of modern test equipment and computer-aided design techniques.
