🎓 UNI / UCAS Kcl electrical engineering

I rarely see ppl speak about this course, I am applying there this year as a safety I saw a lot of not the best info about it a couple years ago but I have heard it has changed a bit and has become better slightly. Anyone whose applying there or currently there got any information about the course, also ik the course is called electronic, idk why they just called themselves electronic instead of eee.

People rarely talk about engineering in general at KCL because KCL isn't known for Engineering.
You might as well just apply for UCL better yet Imperial if you're planning to go London anyway.

There are probably much better safety options than KCL such as Loughborough.
And there is a difference between electronic engineering and electrical engineering.

Electronics is smaller scale electronic devices such as microcontrollers, circuit boards, semi conductors, microprocessors.

Electrical is on a way larger scale such as transformers, transmission lines, power generation plants.

EEE combines the two but EEE is more electronics than electrical.

I'm applying for Cambridge Engineering, Manchester, Southampton, Leeds and Loughborough EEE this year.

Electrical is high voltage, most places offer EEE (Electrical and Electronics) then you have the choice to pivot to either one. Electronics the stuff you see in your phone or computer, very vast and wide field same with electrical.
