Program Outline
Degree Overview:
This degree covers both the hardware and software engineering aspects of the discipline. During the course, students will gain extensive practical experience and we provide good access to interactive computer services. With the continuing increasing pace of technological development, and the need for increased computing performance in applications such as high-performance computing, mobile computing and embedded systems, develop the skills and expertise needed to become a specialist in computer system design. In the final year, students can specialise in subjects such as IoT, Machine Learning and Signal Processing so you’re never tied to a single career path! These courses sit at the cutting edge boundary between computers and electronics. Many alumni from these courses go on to very highly paid and rewarding employment designing and building the next generation of smart appliances, Internet of Things devices and embedded systems. The Beng degree is 3 years whereas the MEng involves a study for an extra year and provides a more in-depth study of the subject.
