Course programme
This four year course programme is made up of both compulsory and optional modules, making sure you acquire essential knowledge alongside giving you the freedom to tailor your own studies according to your own interests. You will have greater opportunity to specialise according to your own interests in your second and final year, whilst your third year is spent on an industrial placement within a relevant company.
Year 1
During the first year of the programme you will study a range of compulsory modules providing you with a thorough introduction to computing programming, systems architecture, mathematics and logic. You will also begin your study of computer architectures, learning how to program simple devices such as Lego robots using C, alongside beginning your study of object-oriented high level languages with Java.
Year 2
In the second year you will engage with processing tools, techniques and practises alongside studying electronics. You will learn how to design, build and test a range of digital and analogue circuits, from simple digital timing circuits to video and speech encoders. You will also be able to select modules from a range of computing and business related subjects that match your own interests.
Year 3 (Year in Industry)
The third year of study will be spent on an industrial placement consisting of nine to fourteen months of full-time employment. The placements are sourced and secured by you (with help from UEA), you will pay a reduced tuition fee and receive a wage. Throughout the work placement you will keep in close contact with an assigned mentor at UEA, who will also visit you at least once during the year. You will also be supported by an industrial supervisor throughout the placement.
Year 4
In the final year you will gain experience working with the embedded computing devices that are at the heart of many everyday products, alongside the computer networks that enable their processing power to be harnessed. You will also carry out a year-long supervised research project, providing you with first-hand experience of independent project work from a technical and an organisational perspective.
