Electrical and Electronic Engineering by Flexible Open Learning

Electrical and Electronic Engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the generation, transmission, control, and application of electrical energy and with the design of electronic circuits, devices, and systems. From the fundamental principles of circuit theory and electromagnetism to the design of complex analogue and digital systems, it provides the technical foundations for the modern technological world, encompassing power engineering, telecommunications, signal processing, and control systems.

At Teesside University, this flexible, open learning programme is delivered as a part-time, distance-learning degree, making it accessible to students who are already working in technical roles and wish to formalise and extend their knowledge, or who need to balance study with other commitments. The curriculum builds from the basics of electrical theory, covering current, voltage, and Kirchhoff's Laws, through AC circuit analysis and the use of phasors and filters, to digital and analogue electronics and more complex control and signal processing topics. The flexible delivery allows you to study at your own pace while engaging with demanding technical material.

Graduates of this programme are well placed for roles in the electrical engineering, electronics, and automation sectors, including positions in power systems, industrial control, embedded systems, telecommunications, and engineering project management. The distance-learning format is particularly well suited to people who are already working in relevant industries and who will be able to apply their learning directly in their professional roles. Progression to postgraduate study in electrical engineering, electronics, or power systems is also available for those who wish to develop specialist expertise further.
