BEng Electronics Courses

Broad based courses which aim to produce well rounded electronic engineers with high levels of analytical and engineering design skills

Common first year grounding in all electronic engineering disciplines, with increasing content of either electrical, communications or

computer engineering in years 2 and 3

• BEng Electronic and Electrical Engineering

• BEng Electronic and Communications Engineering

• BEng Electronic and Computer Engineering

Electronic Engineering • You are:

• Our courses cover:

Analogue and digital electronics, microelectronics and microprocessors, digital signal processing, sensors, instrumentation, control systems, embedded systems, telecommunications, mobile and wireless systems, management and professional skills

“interested in the future of electronics equipment and products that are a vital

part of our daily lives”

Electronic Engineering • You will be:

An architect and implementer of the technological revolution

BEng Computer Systems Courses

• BEng Computer Systems Engineering

• BEng Computer Systems Engineering (Networks)

• BEng Computer Systems Engineering (Software)

The aim of this course is to provide professional engineers who have the required skills to design the next generation of computer systems

By selecting suitable final year modules and a relevant project, students may elect to graduate with one of the specialist

‘Networks’ or ‘Software’ degrees

MEng Courses • Aim to produce graduates equipped to play leading

roles in related industries:

First two years follow the BEng programmes

Third year similar to BEng but with 1 or 2 specialised modules (programme specific)

Final year includes specialised technical modules and a more wide-ranging interdisciplinary group project with an industrial and/or commercial involvement

MEng Courses • All MEng programmes have a related BEng

programme:

The corresponding BEng course for MEng Electrical Engineering with Renewable Energy Systems is BEng Electronic and Electrical Engineering

• Students may change from BEng to MEng at the end of Level 2 if performing at the required standard
