With a diploma in Electronics and Communication, you have access to a wide range of roles, from designing and assembling new technology such as the latest generation of mobile phones to handling the technical aspects of broadcast radio. Communication technologies are core industries in 21st century economies, and so the number and variety of roles is constantly increasing.
In the UK, the sector employs 24,000 people and generates around £3.4 billion a year. Opportunities within electronics exist in electronic circuit design, instrumentation and control for safety on industrial plants, e.g. Manufacturing, oil and gas, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, mobile technology, automotive and aviation electronics as well as medical systems. Some graduates enter a related field as IT professionals.
Popular areas outside of engineering include commercial, industrial and public sector management. Graduate engineering posts will usually give you the opportunity to work towards incorporated or chartered engineer status.
Clearly, most technology these days has some communication element, from tablet computers to the ever-evolving smart phone, to more and more powerful small computers. These advancesmake the opportunities for hardware specialists broader and more numerous than ever before as every company strives to out-do its competitors by adding the next clever must-have communications element to their equipment.
Ultimately however, whether you choose to use your diploma to give you a hand-up into one of these lucrative areas, or decide to become a skiing instructor or a sushi chef, is up to you.
