If you are curious about how things work and have a keen mind for applying what you learn to solve real-world problems, then Electronics is the perfect subject for you. It can be thought of as the practical application of scientific principles and provides a good introduction to a career in any engineering discipline. The key characteristics of an Electronics student are creativity, problem-solving, and an enquiring mind.
Studying Electronics at GCSE is the perfect stepping stone to further study in this exciting and constantly evolving field, allowing possible progression to A Level Electronics and providing a good grounding for studying any engineering discipline to degree level.
Electrical and Electronic Engineering graduates contribute to a variety of sectors and industries such as communications, film and TV,
robotics, aerospace, automotive, electrical power generation, marine engineering and the built environment. There is a national shortage of engineers so job and pay prospects are excellent as are opportunities to travel and work abroad.
