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.


We teach a solid foundation of electronics and computer science. You will learn how to design and apply both the hardware and software of general-purpose and embedded computer systems.


United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals


Based on our compulsory course material, this degree aligns with many of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the top three being:


  • SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
  • SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
  • SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure


The Master of Engineering (MEng) degree


The MEng degree is relevant to those wishing to pursue a career as a professional engineer or a computer scientist in industry.


This programme combines more advanced study than our Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degree, with a greater emphasis on industrial skills.


You will also get the opportunity to work in an industrial company while you carry out your MEng project in Years 4 and 5.


Ties to industry


Our Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from prominent electronics and electrical engineering companies. This has, and continues to, influence our curriculum and programme development.


Many of our electronics and electrical engineering (EEE) courses benefit from industry collaboration, including a state-of-the-art electronics laboratory equipped with industry-standard measurement and testing equipment. We also regularly host guest lectures from experienced professionals in the EEE sector.


Programme benefits


  • An enviable suite of facilities, including specialist laboratories, student makerspaces and cutting-edge industry-standard equipment.
  • Benefit from research-led teaching by internationally leading academics.
  • Strong links to industry with excellent career prospects, industry relevant curriculum and internship opportunities.
  • A balanced curriculum that covers theoretical and practical skills and individual and group work.
