The Computer Systems Engineering degree is a practical hands-on course that allows you to combine the study of computing science with a potential focus on electronics. In addition, this particular course allows you to spend your third year engaged in an industrial placement, gaining relevant work experience. The flexibility of the degree programme allows you to either deepen your knowledge of computing systems or broaden it by studying wider elements, such as computer graphics or artificial intelligence. The opportunity to take part in a year in industry makes for an invaluable addition to your scientific knowledge and technique. It increases your employability and gives you the chance to put your first two years of Computer Systems Engineering learning into practise. During your academic studies you will be taught how computer hardware and software interact to form more complex systems, and how computer aided design (CAD) tools are used to manage this complexity. Throughout your studies you will encounter a wide variety of subjects, from computer architectures and how to program simple devices in your first year, to engaging with electronics, digital circuits, and programmable hardware in your second year. Your final year project will give you the opportunity to put all that you have learnt into practice and showcase the engineering skills you have acquired. The academics leading the programme hold first degrees in Electronics and many of them have spent part of their careers working in industry. Their expertise helps us to shape the degree content and ensure it is relevant.
