Computer Systems Engineering (Hons)

You could study just computer science or electronic engineering, but by studying a programme that is a 50/50 split, you’ll be able to choose from a wider range of career opportunities.  Our expert teaching team cover the foundations of computer software and hardware, with modules in everything from programming and circuit design to operating systems and signals. In our Electronics Lab and Informatics Teaching Lab, you’ll get practical experience with digital circuit design, embedded systems and various software development tools. These form the foundation of computer systems, the internet and the applications that run on it. You’ll also learn about intelligent systems, which have a range of applications, from vehicles to smart cities. You’ll have the chance to complete two practical projects. In your second year, you’ll team up with other students on an engineering project, which will be software-based. Then in your final year, you’ll work on a hardware or software-based project focused on your interests. We were recently ranked 8th for Computer Science and Information Systems in the UK by QS World Rankings by Subject (2025) and 1st in the UK for Electrical and Electronic Engineering - US News World University Ranking 2024. Not only will you graduate with a range of sought-after skills, but you’ll also have built a strong personal brand, thanks to our MySkills initiative within the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. Get ready to impress employers and secure a role where you can put your knowledge into action.
