Our Electronic and Information Engineering degree programmes give you an understanding of the entire stack of modern networked computers, from the design and architecture of the CPU in a smart-phone, to the information theory and wireless protocols connecting it to the internet, and on into the operating systems and databases providing back-end support in the cloud. The course covers the technical knowledge and practical skills of both computing and electrical engineering, while also providing a big picture view of how it all connects together, preparing you for a career in cutting edge technology in industry or research Students follow core modules in years one and two and begin to specialise in year three. Some of the core modules are delivered jointly with students on the Electrical and Electronic Engineering programmes; others are specifically designed for Electronic and Information Engineering students; and some are taught by the Department of Computing. BEng students conduct a substantial individual project in their third year, while MEng students do this in their fourth year. Students on the Year Abroad programme will spend their fourth year at an overseas university. All MEng degrees have the option for students to take an assessed six-month industrial placement during the third year. The placement provides substantial work experience that is relevant to your degree.
