Description

This programme is available with a year in industry for either the four-year MEng programme, or three-year BEng/BSc programmes.

A special emphasis is given to embedded systems, that is the embedding of computer systems into a multitude of devices such as cars (engine management systems), mobile phones, personal video recorders, MP3 players, aeroplanes, medical equipment, kitchen appliances and so on. Embedded systems must operate in real-time, reliably, safely and in a manner that is appropriate to the user's expectations. This often means that requirements and specifications are detailed and comprehensive.

The first two years provide a solid foundation in core areas of Computer Science, and introduce some of the fundamental embedded systems concepts. The third and fourth year lead to a gradual specialisation in your areas of interest, allowing you to obtain a deeper knowledge of selected embedded systems and other Computer Science topics through a large range of options. These usually represent the research areas of our world-leading research staff and so provide a picture of the latest achievements in the field. The same is valid for your individual final-year project.

A Masters programme such as this provides you the benefit of an extra year of study with us (as compared with a Bachelors programme), allowing you to study more topics at a deeper level, thus connecting you with the state-of-the-art in your selected study areas.

Course Content

First Year

The first year contains essential fundamental material in programming, computer architectures and human-computer interfaces. It also contains mathematical and theoretical foundations of computer science.

Second Year

The second year continues with fundamental material, such as 'Principles of Programming Languages', 'Systems and Compilers', and 'Computability and Complexity'. Slightly more specialised topics start to be introduced, for example 'Artificial Intelligence' and 'Vision and Graphics'. Furthermore, all students can choose between a large Software Engineering project or a Hardware project.

Third Year

Once you reach your third year, there is more flexibility and you can choose 6 modules from a range of options.

Fourth Year

In the fourth year, you do a large individual research project, a group project and five modules.
