Electronics and Computer Science (BEng)GH60

Electronic and electrical systems underpin many modern technologies, from the tiny processors in smartphones to the heavy-duty power electronics in wind turbines. In today's world of complex, high-speed devices, it is important that engineers understand how to design and apply both the hardware and software of general-purpose and embedded computer systems. Electronics and computer science are a fascinating and highly valuable combination. Interactions between these fields have generated some of the most significant advances in computer design and communications technology over the last 50 years. As a student of electronics and computer science, you will need a clear understanding of physics and the broader system it operates in. Teamwork and the determination to find clever solutions are also crucial. Graduates are leading advances in fields such as: machine learning and deep learningtechnology for medicineefficiency in transportationsafety monitoring systemssurveillanceentertainmentwireless communicationsmanufacturing and computingrenewable energy generation Our Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from important electronics and electrical engineering companies. This has influenced our curriculum and programme development. On this programme you’ll benefit from research-led teaching by internationally leading academics? We have strong links to industry with excellent career prospects, industry relevant curriculum and internships. You’ll benefit from a balanced curriculum that covers theoretical and practical skills and individual and group work?. You’ll have access to state of the art laboratory facilities including:? industry standard software and hardware?in-person and remote labs? All of our degree programmes are accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology. (Revised 9 May 2024 to reflect curriculum renewal changes) We are proud of the supportive community that our students and academics create. For example, you will have access to an 'Electronics After Hours Club'. This allows you to develop your own extra-curricular projects in a supportive environment. Accredited by the Institution of Engineering Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
