Computer Systems Engineering and Robotics (including foundation year) - BEng (Hons)

Our Computer Systems Engineering and Robotics (including foundation year) BEng will prepare you to study at undergraduate level, developing your confidence and academic skills in areas relating to computing. This preparatory year is shared with other foundation year courses, so you’ll get to study with a wide range of students with various interests. Should you wish to change your specialism following your foundation year, there will be flexibility to do so.

During your foundation year you will become familiar with computer security, computer networks, mathematical techniques, programming language and theoretical concepts related to computer software design. Building skills in these key areas of study will ensure you’re well-equipped for the following three years of your course.

On the course you’ll have access to our specialist laboratories for computer-aided design (CAD), electronics, microwave and satellite communications, embedded systems and digital systems and optoelectronics. The computing and engineering skills you'll learn will help you succeed in becoming a computer systems professional.

You'll graduate with a full undergraduate degree with the same title and award as those who studied the traditional three-year course.

Upon graduating from this degree you'll be fully prepared to start your career in computer systems engineering. You'll also have many technical skills that can be used for other areas of employment such as aerospace, manufacturing, communications, electronics and robotics.

In addition to the University's standard entry requirements, you should have:

at least one A level (or a minimum of 32 UCAS points from an equivalent Level 3 qualification, eg BTEC Subsidiary/National/BTEC Extended Diploma)
English Language and Mathematics GCSEs at grade C/grade 4 or above (or equivalent eg Functional Skills at Level 2)
