Electronics and Computer Systems Engineering

This integrated degree in Electronics and Computer Systems Engineering will provide you with the skills needed to work with both software and hardware to design exciting electronic and computer-based systems. You’ll put theory into practice from day one, working in our cutting-edge facilities that feature electronic circuits measurement analysers, virtual instrumentation kits, PCB prototyping printers, circuit design and simulation tools, internet of things and industry 4.0 technology.

You’ll learn how to combine software and hardware to design the exciting electronic and computer-based systems that shape the way we live. Based on leading research and designed with strong industrial input, the degree gives you thorough knowledge in core engineering subjects such as electrical, electronics and computer theory, analogue and digital electronics as well as low level hardware programming. The application of mathematics to the design of control systems will give you insight into the positioning and manipulation of automated machinery. In addition, you will cover digital signal processing, Internet of Things, and address the professional and ethical issues in engineering.

Real-world experience can be obtained as part of your study by completing an optional placement year/ industrial internship. Whether you want to work in industry, launch your own start-up company, or enter the world of research and development, the degree will give you the head start you need for a career in this rapidly growing sector.

Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

We offer this programme with two study options. You can choose three years full-time or four years full-time which would include a one-year professional placement before your final year that will give you hands-on experience in a real-life working environment. This year in industry would give you the practical skills that many employers seek, giving you a competitive edge upon graduation.
