Course summary

Electronic and electrical systems underpin many modern technologies, from the tiny processors in smartphones to the heavy-duty power electronics in wind turbines.In today's world of complex, high-speed devices, it is important that engineers understand how to design and apply both the hardware and software of general-purpose and embedded computer systems.


Why joint honours?

Electronics and computer science are a fascinating and highly valuable combination. Interactions between these fields have generated some of the most significant advances in computer design and communications technology over the last 50 years. As a student of electronics and computer science, you will need a clear understanding of physics and the broader system it operates in.Teamwork and the determination to find clever solutions are also crucial. Graduates are leading advances in fields such as: machine learning and deep learning technology for medicine efficiency in transportation safety monitoring systems surveillance entertainment wireless communications manufacturing and computing renewable energy generation
