Course summary

Learn about the fields that are essential to computer systems, including mathematics, control systems, embedded systems and programming. Then go on to applied work that brings the concepts together in a practical way, and continue to study advanced modules in specialist areas such as system design and security and intelligent systems.This three-year BEng course will develop your engineering skills in computer software and hardware. The key difference between this and a computer science degree is the focus on engineering systems: electromechanical design, robotics and computer programming for embedded systems.Modules are informed by our world-leading research and designed with input from our industry partners, so you'll have the best start for your career. You'll use industry-standard equipment and learn about state-of-the-art applications in infrastructure, medicine and aviation.Our courses share a common first year. You'll study subjects that are fundamental to computer systems such as mathematics, computing, control, electronics, software and embedded systems.In the first year, you'll learn how to control robotic systems and you will work as part of a team to design, analyse and test robots, autonomous vehicles and other complex electro-mechanical systems.In your second year, core modules cover subjects such as programming (including C, Python and Java), mathematics and data modelling, signals, systems and communications.Optional placement year, Study abroad
