Course Summary

Computer technology can be found in more than just desktop and laptop PCs. Specialist microprocessors are used for communications (there's one in your mobile phone), measurement devices (for example, medical instrumentation) and entertainment (mp3 and BluRay players) to name just a few. This four-year degree is designed for students with an interest in computers, computing systems and software. Directed specialisms for modules and projects include microelectronics and VLSI design, object oriented software, computer networks and other modules offered by the School of Computer Science. A year in industry placement develops additional knowledge in aspects of management and commercial practice within industry. Final-year projects provide you with the chance to work with members of the Department's research groups working on the latest advances in VLSI applications for computer systems, parallel and embedded architectures, digital signal and vector processing.

Course Details - Modules

All students follow a common programme in year one and you will study topics such as computer engineering, engineering mathematics, power and energy and information and systems. In year two, you will develop your design skills through a variety of lab based subjects. The industrial placement is completed in your third year and in your final year you will undertake an individual project and study state-of-the-the-art technologies. In many cases this project contributes to the major industrially related programmes undertaken by research groups within the department.
