Computer Systems Engineering (Hons)

The programme merges computing and electronic engineering, delivering a balanced curriculum that covers software development, circuit design, operating systems, signals and information processing, and emerging technologies such as AI and embedded systems; practical training occurs in dedicated laboratories where students work with digital circuit design, embedded platforms and advanced programming tools, and the curriculum is structured across three years with foundational modules in the first year, core engineering and computer science subjects in the second year, and specialised project work and optional advanced modules in the final year, while opportunities for an integrated foundation year, industrial placement or study abroad extend the programme to four years and provide pathways for students who lack direct entry qualifications or seek international experience; the school is recognised for research excellence, with 99 percent of outputs classified as world-leading or internationally excellent, and the degree is accredited for professional recognition, preparing graduates for careers in electronics, computing, internet infrastructure and manufacturing, supported by strong employer connections and a dedicated careers service.
