We strongly encourage our UCAS applicants to visit the School of Electriconic, Electrical and Computer Engineering here at the University of Birmingham in order that they can get a real taste of what it is like to study here.
We would like to invite you to visit the University on one of our admissions days, to learn more about our courses, to see the facilities in the School and to have an opportunity to see the campus. This is also a good opportunity to talk with the Admissions Tutor and other members of academic teaching staff about the courses and to ask them any questions you might have.
The day will also provide you with:
-
Careers information
-
Information on the engineering profession, IET membership and C.Eng. status
-
Information on obtaining sponsorship and work placements
-
An example lecture or lab demonstration, giving you a flavour of the course and of the style of teaching in the school
The admissions day will start at 10.30am in the School of Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineering. There will be presentations and a tour of the school as well as the campus, accommodation and the surrounding area. During a buffet lunch you will have an opportunity to speak with both staff and students in an informal atmosphere. After lunch, there will be a tour of the school’s facilities and presentations on the degree programmes and on student life, finance and careers.
