Course programme

Special Features

Our expertise in data communications and networks is almost unparallelled in the UK.

Future proofed training

Engineering courses at Brunel are aimed squarely at developing the expertise, knowledge and new ideas graduates need for the information age, and cover the full breadth of electronic, computer and multimedia engineering.

Well-resourced facilities

The College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences at Brunel spends around £500,000 per year on new software and has over 500 computers. We maintain and give students access to the most current and commercial software available, with laboratories that are often equipped with software and hardware from prestigious industrial collaborators.

Strong links with industry

We formally liaise with industrial partners about appropriate course content and emerging trends, ensuring students receive training that meets the needs of industry and the wider marketplace, with enhanced choice and quality work placements.

Ideal location

Based in West London, Brunel also benefits from its proximity to most of the country’s information engineering and telecommunications industry.

Women in Engineering and Computing Programme

Brunel’s Women in Engineering and Computing mentoring scheme provides our female students with invaluable help and support from their industry mentors.

Accreditation

This course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).

Facts and Figures
  • Electronic and Computer Engineering is one of the largest disciplines in the University with over 40 full-time academic staff and extensive teaching and research portfolios. The discipline boasts an undergraduate population of 500 and a postgraduate population of over 300 students
  • ECE at Brunel has an extensive research portfolio totalling £7.5m worth of ongoing research grants and contracts. ECE represented a major part of Brunel’s General Engineering submission to the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE 2008), which was ranked fifth in the UK.
  • Our NSS (National Student Survey) results have shown a consistent year on year increase in student satisfaction.


Additional information

Teaching and Assessment Teaching At Brunel we adopt a teaching style that is research-led, so the latest cutting-edge technologies will be taught as part of the course. Our courses combine theory with practical and project work – an approach which can help you to turn ideas into real systems – and our students are regularly awarded national and international prizes Staff expertise We take pains to maintain our high level of teaching. Lecturers are at the leading edge of their fields and many are internationally and nationally recognised for their work. They act as consultants for major companies, are often widely published, have good links with industry and are commercially aware. How many hours of study are involved? In Level 1 you will have about 18 taught hours a week. This will fall to around eight hours of lectures and seminars in Level 3, with the equivalent of one whole day set aside for project work. In addition to this, staff are normally happy to answer queries outside this time. We operate an open-door policy where you can drop in and chat, or email lecturers with your questions. Students are expected to carry out a total of 40 hours study a week, including contact hours. How will I be taught? Lectures – These provide a broad overview of key concepts and ideas relating to your course and give you a framework from which to carry out in-depth study. Laboratories – These are normally stand-alone three hour sessions in which students can develop, understand and practice using industry standard equipment. They provide an informal environment in which to explore new ideas and apply what you have learnt in lectures, with the help of a tutor. The staff/student ratio is nominally 1:10 (one supervisor and a demonstrator).. Workshops – In a workshop you will work on more complex problems with guidance from a member of staff. This might involve producing an artefact or a design solution ative design assignments Laboratory work Individual and group...
