Course Overview

What do 3D TV, digital cameras, smartphones, the iPad and sports instant replay have in common? They're all examples of technology that have been developed combining skills from Computer Science and Electronic Engineering.

These subjects have become increasingly intertwined in recent years, so engineers need to be able to create and embed intelligence into the products and systems of the future.

Engineers with operational and technical expertise in electronics and software engineering are needed to design the next generation of computer apps, interactive vehicle robotic agents that monitor driver information and respond accordingly, or digital cinema technology. This degree is designed to produce these skilled professional engineers.

This is one of the few UK degrees with triple accreditation from the Institution of Engineering and Technology, the British Computer Society and the Science Council.
