This course lies within an integrated programme of BEng (3 year) and MEng (4 year) degrees, both of which can be taken with an additional sandwich year. With a year in industry taken in the third or fourth year of this five year course, this degree prepares students to play a leading role in the continuing adventure of modern communications – researching, designing, building and marketing the next generation of products. As well as a year gaining experience in the workplace, students complete a major software engineering team project undertaken in the department.

Many of our students find jobs in related industries and in all sizes of companies from multi-nationals to small businesses. However, they graduate with strong mathematical, computing/programming, team working and technical management skills that are an integral part of our programmes. This means that they also have access to a very wide range of potential career paths outside of the more obvious ones, for example financial service industries which require creative people with strong mathematical and programming skills.
