Apprenticeship in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (BEng Hons)

96-112 UCAS Tariff Points

The UCAS tariff score is applicable to you if you have recently studied a qualification that has a UCAS tariff equivalence. UCAS provides a tariff calculator for you to work out what your qualification is worth within the UCAS tariff. 

If this course interests you but you don’t have the entry requirements to join the apprenticeship you could consider:

• ‘with Foundation Year’. This route is designed to give you extra support as it provides you with an additional year (full-time) of supported study.   

Once you successfully complete your Foundation Year studies, you will automatically advance onto the full time degree option where available in this subject.  

• Certificate in Higher Education (CertHE). This is a one-year course and is equivalent to the first year of the three year, full-time bachelor’s degree.  

 Once you have successfully completed your CertHE studies, you will be eligible to progress for the remaining two years of the full time bachelor’s degree option in this subject.  

These are ideal routes if you are not in employment in the sector, are returning to study after a gap, if you have not previously studied this subject, or if you did not achieve the grades you need for a place on this apprenticeship.   

Admissions Advice and Support  

We may make you a lower offer based on a range of factors, such as your background, experiences and individual circumstances. This is known as ‘Contextual Admissions’. For specific advice and support you can contact our enquiries team for more information about entry requirements.

To apply, you must be employed in a relevant role and have your employer’s support.  
 
Begin by registering your interest through our Apprenticeship Registration page. After reviewing your information, the Apprenticeship Team will contact you to confirm eligibility and guide you through the application process. For further assistance, please reach out to the Apprenticeship Team. 

Students are taught through a series of lectures, tutorials, laboratories and practical sessions. Assessment of progress is made through a combination of laboratory-based practicals, assignments, presentations, exams and individual projects.

Module assessment is often by assignment, or assignment and examination. The final mark for some modules may include one or more pieces of coursework set and completed during the module. Project work is assessed by a written report and presentation.

One of the main parts of the final year will be the final year project. This is a work-based project that will allow students to use the knowledge built up through the course to solve a genuine workplace-engineering problem.

UWTSD prides itself on being a bilingual University and although there aren’t currently any modules available through the medium of Welsh on this course, in all cases students can submit written assessments through the medium of Welsh.
