Hi @beowolf986,

Both KCL and QMUL offer strong options for electronic engineering, but their strengths differ. KCL has a prestigious reputation, which can be advantageous in industries that value global rankings. However, QMUL’s facilities are highly regarded and may provide more hands-on experience, which is valuable for employability. QMUL’s Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) may offer a broader approach, while KCL’s Electronic Engineering might emphasise theoretical aspects. Look into their industry connections, placement opportunities, and graduate outcomes to see which aligns better with your career goals.

I did electronic engineering yonks ago and, for me, the industrial year was invaluable. Gave me a taste for industry, a great idea about final year options and a real advantage to my CV. I ended up working for the same company I did my industrial year with.

In all honesty, a 1st degree is just a start, very quickly experience and expertise becomes more important. It is YOU who is employable, not the degree on your CV. Go for the uni you will enjoy more, work hard and the results and career will follow.
