Bachelor of Science with Honours in Electronics

School of Science and Technology Electronic and Computer Engineering Part-time Programmes Bachelor of Science with Honours in Electronics

Bachelor of Science with Honours in Electronics (BSCHE)

Distance Learning Mode Part-time


This programme provides comprehensive knowledge of a wide range of electronic principles, practical skills in electronics and the capacity to analyse and synthesize circuits and devices. The Honours programme gives students the opportunity to specialize in certain areas of electronics, and includes training in independent project work. Graduates are qualified to embark on a career as an electronic design engineer, analyst or consultant.

Professional recognition

IEEE Holders of BSc/BSc (Hons) in Electronics are recognized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) as meeting the educational requirement of IEEE membership.
