Edinburgh (Scotland)
Many of the advances in computer and communications technology over the past five decades have resulted from the interaction between Electronics and Computer Science. These two disciplines therefore form a natural combination for a joint honours course and in today's world of complex high-speed devices, it is vital that there are engineers who understand how to design and implement both the hardware and software of general purpose and embedded computer systems. Increasingly, the importance of using software engineering methods in the design of systems is being recognised and this is reflected in the degree in Electronics & Software Engineering.

Course programme
Your time will usually be divided between engineering, mathematics and option courses. You study several branches of engineering, followed by the first in-depth study of your preferred subject.
For most of our programmes you can choose an option from the sciences or the arts. Chemical engineering students must take chemistry in Year 1.
Year 2You will study your chosen branch of engineering, supported by classes in mathematics. You will begin to apply your scientific and mathematical skills to real problem solving.
Year 3You will now be able to focus almost entirely on your chosen field of engineering. At the end of Year 3, you will have the option of completing one more year for a BEng (Hons) or studying for a further two years for an MEng (Hons).
Year 4You will concentrate on specialist study and innovative coursework that will prepare you for your professional career. Increasingly you will spend time on individual or group design projects. These projects include working with students from other disciplines in our unique interdisciplinary design projects, initiated with support from the Royal Academy of Engineering.
MEng students will produce a substantial project that may involve working overseas or in industry.
