Accreditation
IET Accredited degrees
We're delighted that our Electronic Engineering and Computer Systems Engineering degrees (with and without a year in industry) have been accredited by The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council. IET accreditation involves a thorough assessment of our laboratory facilities, industrial influence, teaching curriculum and learning outcomes against internationally defined standards:
- All MEng degrees have received Full CEng Accreditation: The programs are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
- All BEng degrees have received Partial CEng Accreditation: The programs are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Further learning, such as completing an IET accredited MSc, would be required to fully meet the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
The Chartered Engineer title (CEng) is an international mark of recognition of your competence and commitment to professional development. This enhances your CV, making it easier to progress your career and increasing your earning potential. Fully meeting the academic requirements is the first step to becoming a Chartered Engineer. After your degree, you will also need to demonstrate you meet a range of practice-based requirements, which is typically achieved after a few years working as a professional engineer.
We encourage all our students to aim to be Chartered Engineers and are very proud to support them in their journey to professional recognition.
UKESF
Royal Holloway has joined 22 other leading academic institutions nationwide to partner with the UK Electronics Skills Foundation (UKESF). This means that our students can benefit from the UKESF scholarship scheme and internship programme, which connects the most capable Electronics undergraduates with leading companies in the sector. Our students on this prestigious scheme have won national awards for their outstanding achievements.
Studying here
In Electronic Engineering there is a real sense of camaraderie between staff and students. We have an inclusive and supportive community in which we positively encourage and support female applicants, and the department attracts a greater than average proportion of female students. In fact we've been awarded Silver Athena Swan accreditation, recognising exceptional commitment and excellence in the advancement of gender equality.
Our Personal Advisor system means that you'll receive personalised advice and pastoral support through your degree to help get the most out of your time at Royal Holloway.
Teaching activities include lectures, workshops and seminars with practical project work carried out in groups and individually in purpose built creative spaces and fabrication laboratories designed to inspire you and prepare you for an exciting career ahead.
Your future career
You'll graduate with the theoretical, creative and practical skillset that electronic engineers need for a fulfilling and valuable career creating solutions in a technological world.
There are many well-paid opportunities for graduates in Electronic Engineering, a profession that struggles to recruit enough staff to meet demand.
Our students say
"I've enjoyed the new facilities here, and the course is well balanced with practical work, supported by useful and interesting theory.
My favourite aspect is the group work. teamwork is integral to engineering, we collaborate to solve problems and create projects. This makes the challenges we are presented with conquerable and allows us to develop our individual strengths."
