Computer technology can be found in more than just desktop and laptop PCs. Specialist microprocessors are used for communications (there's one in your mobile phone), measurement devices (for example, medical instrumentation) and entertainment (MP3 and DVD players) to name just a few. This three-year degree is designed for students with an interest in computers, computing systems and software. Directed specialisms for modules and projects include microelectronics and VLSI design, object oriented software, computer networks and other modules offered by the School of Computer Science. Final-year projects provide you with the chance to work with members of the Department's research groups working on the latest advances in VLSI applications for computer systems, parallel and embedded architectures, digital signal and vector processing.
