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.


Bringing together design, robotics and computer programming, this three-year BEng in Computer Systems Engineering is perfect for aspiring engineers.

Informed by our world-leading research and designed in collaboration with our industry partners, this course gives you the best start to your career.You’ll complement engineering skills in computer software and hardware with a deep understanding of systems design. You'll also use industry-standard equipment to learn about state-of-the-art applications in infrastructure, medicine and aviation.The first year gives you solid grounding in theory, with a focus on how to control robotic systems, and opportunities to design and analyse complex electro-mechanical systems as part of a team.In your second year, core modules such as programming (including C++, Python and Java), mathematics and data modelling lead into a practical project – designing a system using 3D CAD tools, and building your designs in our iForge Makerspace.Year three will see you combining specialist modules, like intelligent systems and cybersecurity, with a massive range of optional modules, chosen according to your personal passion and career aspirations.This all builds to an advanced project, where you’ll work one-on-one with an academic – deepening your technical knowledge and developing your expertise in a range of engineering techniques.
