International Year One in Engineering

The International Year One in Engineering is your route to a variety of Engineering degrees at the University of Sussex. You will study a range of modules, totalling 120 credits, that will give you the academic and study skills you need to succeed in your degree.

In semester two you can choose your academic modules based on your intended progression degree. This ensures you gain the specialist knowledge you need to excel in your undergraduate degree.

Once you have successfully completed your International Year One and achieved the requ.ired progression grades, you can join the second year of the intended undergraduate degree.

Leading to: Electrical and Electronic Engineering (with an industrial placement year) MEng (Hons)

Our Master of Engineering (MEng) degree lets you specialise your degree with a range of options and provides you with the educational requirements needed to become a Chartered Engineer.

From renewable energies, autonomous cars, robotics and mobile communication to advances in medicine, electrical and electronic engineering underpins all facets of our daily lives. Our research in sensors, flexible electronics, medical robotics and imaging, 5G communications and space systems informs our teaching.

You’ll study in our Future Technologies Labs, which provide a new space for building robots, programming embedded systems and digital signal processors, as well as computer design and modelling suites. You’ll use our electronics and control engineering laboratories, and electrical drive systems, and could be part of one of the Formula Student or Medical Robotic teams.

As you progress, you’ll focus on electrical or electronic engineering. You’ll get specialist training in applications ranging from sensor design to hardware accelerators, and from semiconductor devices to electric motors for future green transport. We have dedicated academic advisers to support you during you time at Sussex, as well as a team of student mentors.

You’ll gain hands-on experience with industry-standard equipment. In your final year, you’ll work on a project inspired by industrial needs. The optional year in industry is a valuable opportunity to experience work as an engineer within a commercial company. You’ll be able to contribute to design products and services that will shape the society of the future. All this gives you the confidence, skills and experience for the next step in your career.
