Embedded systems are everywhere - in your phone, your fridge, your mp3 player to name a few examples. Learn how to build and maintain these systems, which need to be highly specified and work to real-time requirements - particularly in high impact situations such as cars and aeroplanes. The Masters variant involves a fourth year of study, allowing you to look deeper into the specialism of Embedded Systems Engineering. You will also take a year in industry, so you can put into practice in the workplace your skills and knowledge.

Information technology is rapidly expanding, creating demand for computer scientists and software engineers across a broad section of employers. Many of our graduates work in software and electronics industries, but the continuing expansion of computers in commercial and financial operations means that you will be able to find employment in other industries, and your sharpened numeracy and analytical skills will prepare you well.
