Electronic and Computer Engineering

This unique joint programme across electronic engineering and computer science offers opportunities to respond to the growing worldwide demands in complex technologies and smart applications. This programme provides the students with the necessary synergistic skills between the computing systems and electronics applications. Students will explore a wide range of computer hardware and software, electronics, digital systems, embedded systems, machine learning, artificial intelligence, security, and software development for a variety of fields in today's fast-changing marketplace.

As a graduate of this degree, the students will be able to attain the required knowledge and expertise to become electronic and computing professional spanning the following subject areas:
• Analogue/digital electronics, electrical principles, and programming,
• Design and test advanced embedded and real-time systems.
• Deep understanding of software development, control engineering, and communications systems
• High level knowledge in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and parallel computing.

Additionally, during their study at the University of Plymouth, they will be able to enjoy the university’s new facilities - state of the art lecture theatres, computer laboratories, study and social spaces – in the £63 million teaching and research Babbage building opened in March 2024.

Furthermore, the programme also shares the same stage one with BEng Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme, allowing the flexibility of transfer to stage two of this programme if entry requirements are met.
