Overview

hp-01-tab

Computer Systems Engineering is a fully integrated degree taught jointly with the Department of Computer Science.Link opens in a new window It provides a comprehensive grounding in the principles and practice of computer science, alongside the fundamental technology of digital electronic systems. You will learn about both computer hardware, such as digital hardware design and real-time systems, and computer software such as algorithms, programming and operating systems.

You will specialise from the first year as this course does not share the common first year with our other degrees. In your first two years you will study core material in computer programming, data structures and algorithms as well as system modelling, electronic devices and circuits, and then go to deepen your knowledge of computer architecture, digital electronics design, software engineering and operating systems and networks.

In the third year you will take a bespoke module in high-performance embedded systems design, and undertake an individual project which can be on a topic selected by you under the supervision of academics from either department.

If you choose the MEng you will study advanced material for a further fourth year where you will also undertake an interdisciplinary Engineering group project to help advance your research and development skills in a team environment.

Students choosing the Computer Systems Engineering degrees will specialise from the first year as this course does not share the common first year with our other degrees.

More information about the Computer Systems Engineering course structure is available on the Department of Computer Science website.

Regardless of whether you are admitted onto the BEng or MEng course, you have the option to transfer between the two variants until the end of your second year. You will need to achieve a 2:1 or higher in your second year in order to proceed on the MEng course. If you are studying the 3-year variant of this course you may choose to have your degree awarded as a BEng or a BSc. The option of spending a year in industry or studying abroad is available to all students.

More information about Computer Systems Engineering can be found on the Department of Computer Science website.
