Maths in Electrical and electronic engineering at sheffield

Hello, this is a question for students who have studied this course or are studying this at sheffield.

How complex/hard is the math covered in the course?

I've looked at the modules online, and they are very, very, very vague as to what is covered in the math modules. They don't say anything about imaginary numbers or calculus...As a further maths student at A-level, I'm just a bit concerned that the maths covered in the course will be too simplistic for me. I hope I am wrong. Students please give me your feedback !

Thank you for the suggestion but there’s no ambassador for electronic and electrical engineer :frown:

Hi Tommy_123, 👋

It's great to see your interest in Electronic and electrical engineering at the university of Sheffield. I'm sorry to hear you struggled to find an ambassador for this course.

I've just had a look on our 'chat to our students' page and I've found three students ambassadors who are currently studying electronic and electrical engineering. Their names are Mayank, Ikendai, and Ayman. 👋

If you search one of their names in the search bar or search 'electrical engineering', they should pop up and then there will be an option to chat with them. 😃

If this still doesn't work, you can send me a message via the chat to us webpage and I should be able to copy one of them into the chat for you to ask your questions to them. 😊

Here is the link again for the chat to us page. Please let me know if you experience any issues with this and I will do my best to support you! 😄

All best wishes,
Phoebe A
(Student Ambassador - PhD in English Literature)
