    Bachelor's degree

  • Duration

    4 Years

Combine electronic engineering expertise with advanced knowledge of computer hardware and software skills to develop the computer systems of tomorrow.

Our course prepares you for a career in an advancing field at the interface of engineering and computing. You'll gain in-depth knowledge of modern computer systems, software engineering, computer graphics and embedded programming to become a systems-level expert.

About this course

Learning the foundations of electronic, electrical and computer principles gives you a broad understanding of the subject. Later in your degree, you can specialise with a choice of units including embedded electronic systems, computational intelligence or electronic design.

Working with the latest digital technology, you'll design systems such as embedded microprocessors, programmable integrated circuits or high-performance computers. You'll learn how to use industry standard programming and hardware design languages, operating systems and applications.

We work with industrial partners to make sure our course content reflects the needs of engineering industries worldwide. You’ll graduate with the technical expertise and transferable skills that will open up employment opportunities for you. You can pursue a career in high-technology industries in electronics, power, aerospace, communications, robotics or manufacturing. Or you could find employment in other sectors such as IT, financial services, accountancy, the armed forces or business. Many of our graduates continue their studies to pursue an academic or research career.

You will need a strong performance in Mathematics as part of your entry qualifications. You will also need strong performance in a second science or technology subject, such as:

Biology
Chemistry
Computer Science
Design and Technology (except Fashion or Textiles)
Electronics
Environmental Science
GCSE English grade C or 4 (or equivalent from English language category C).

Accredited by the Institute of Engineering and Technology, licensed by the Engineering Council, for the purpose of partially meeting the educational requirements for a Chartered Engineer.
