Course Content
The first year is designed to allow students from a diverse range of backgrounds to make a solid start on the course. Computer Architecture and Networks investigates the building blocks of computers and how they communicate. Electrical Engineering covers essential electrical circuits and power systems topics to give you the ability to power large computer systems reliably and efficiently.
The second year introduces you to the study of engineering management, which covers the business organisation, finances, contract law, health and safety and human resources issues that you will encounter while working in commercial engineering. The course continues to cover programming and operating systems, together with electronics and computer networks.
In your final year you will continue your studies in software and electronics but with a focus on an individual project in which you will perform a detailed research or design study with the help of an experienced supervisor into a technical aspect from the course.
Your course will be taught using lectures, with associated seminars, practical laboratory classes and personal tutorials. Your personal tutor will meet with you weekly during the first academic year and assist with your transition to studying in Higher Education.
You will work with staff on real-world problems from industry, commerce and research groups, as you would in professional practice; this means that you develop all of the professional skills at the same time as you learn the technical content of your degree.
