Description

This degree focuses on the development of systems that involve electronic hardware and software working together, such as the microcomputers embedded in many modern products.

It is tailored to the needs of information engineers and there isdemand for graduates in this area.

In Stages 1 and 2 you study core elements from our common syllabus, developing your expertise in electrical machines and electronic communications systems.

You also study computer engineering skills, such as the processing of signals.

In Stage 3 you undertake a large individual design project to showcase your skills to future employers. You complement this with specialist topics, such as:

  • Java programme writing skills
  • real-time and embedded systems
