four air-conditioned computer suites housing around 150 high-end computers.120-seat multi-purpose engineering laboratory.We provide first-class facilities to support your studies, including: If you do not have the qualifications for direct entry onto one of our degree programmes, you can take Electronic and Computer Engineering including a Foundation Year. We also offer Electronic and Computer Engineering MEng, a four-year programme which allows you to focus in-depth on particular topics. For details, see Electronic and Computer Engineering with a Year in Industry. It is possible to take this course with a year in industry. All years include project work that replicates industrial practice to maximise the employability of our graduates. Most modules consist of a mixture of lectures, seminars, workshops, and computer sessions. Teaching in our School has been rated as excellent and our course is taught by a team of experts and industry professionals in the areas of computer programming, computer vision, electronics, antennas, biomedical engineering, biometrics, instrumentation, mechanical engineering, mobile communications, product design, robotics, sensors, and wireless communications. You also undertake a project on a subject from either the computing or the electronics subject area. In your final year, you take compulsory modules covering digital signal processing and control, digital systems design, and embedded computer systems. In your second year, you further develop your understanding of the field of computer systems engineers, gaining further practical experience through modules such as systems programming, microcomputer engineering, instrumentation and measurement systems, digital implementation, control and mechatronics, and communications. You also complete an engineering applications project. Your first year lays the foundation for the rest of your studies and includes modules on programming, electronics, engineering design, digital technologies, engineering mathematics, and analysis.
This programme covers all aspects of electronic and computer engineering, which means on graduation you can enter any branch of computing, electrical and electronics engineering (for example, as a computer software engineer) becoming well adapted to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing subject.
Our visiting industrial professors contribute a strong industrial relevance to our courses and therefore students graduate with excellent career prospects in computer science engineering. We have strong links with the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).
Our graduates with specialist skills in electronic and computer engineering are prepared for the complexities of modern technology and well equipped for professional careers in development, research, and production in industry and universities. We provide you with the skills you need to showcase your creativity. We base our courses on leading-edge research in computer science and engineering, which is vital in a field that advances at such a fast pace. This course teaches many exciting topics including robotics/mechatronics, embedded systems, and artificial intelligence, as well as providing you with soft skills such as creativity, entrepreneurship and team working. The combination of electronic engineering skills with advanced knowledge of computer hardware and software engineering will prepare you for creating the systems of the future.
