Strong electronics experience points for University

[LukeeeeBennett]

Hey,

I hope to study electronic engineering at university at the end of this year.

I've got a lot of general experience and business experience (Including an audio engineering business) under my belt, but I feel I'm still lacking some solid electronics experience to "Wow" the tutors.

The few firms around here wont do work experience, so I'm a bit stumped.

Anyone got any ideas?

Having your location filled in might help?.

Forget about wowing the tutors. Make sure you math is up to snuff. In the US EE students are required to take enough math to meet the requirements for a math major. I expect that is the same at any decent university.

Salisbury, UK. Sorry. ;3

Awesome thanks. Although maths is my strong point, I believe I'll be taking extra electronics based maths classes before hand.

I would suggest you contact the Universities you're interested in applying for, and see what they suggest - quite a lot of courses don't like you to studt too much before hand, but I imagine electronics isn't one of them.

Are your A-level grades high enough?, and in suitable subjects.

York for examples requires BBB for BEng, and AAB for MEng - and requires one to be Maths, plus a Science (presumably Physics would be best?), the third can be a Humanities subject.

If your grades aren't good enough, or the wrong subjects, you can do a Foundation course before starting the degree proper.

Yah, I've checked my grades and subjects and all is in line.

Choose a number of Uni's you want to go to then, and apply via ACAS.
