Electrical and electronic engineering
Electronic engineers are producing the next generation of computers, satellites, mobile phones, wearables, distributed sensors, and energy generation and storage devices. And with our 6G Innovation Centre, Advanced Technology Institute, Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing and Surrey Space Centre, we’re at the forefront of this work.
Our electrical and electronic engineering courses open the door to careers in a range of rapidly evolving and exciting industries.
Surrey is the winner of the Cyber University of the Year at the National Cyber Awards 2023.
