Undergraduate Courses in Computer Systems Engineering

Wherever we travel, computer systems are in use behind the scenes helping to control and monitor the flow of traffic. They are used to design, manufacture, sell and transport the goods we buy and the clothes we wear. They have revolutionised commerce and the telecommunications industry. Computer systems engineering is a subject that spans a wide range of technology from software to electronic hardware. It combines computer science with computer engineering and digital electronics to make a fascinating mix of subject matter with a very wide field of application.

The following two courses share identical modules in the first year with the possibility of transfer between degrees up to the start of the second year. The first year provides a solid grounding in programming, system architecture, networking principles and digital systems. In their second and third years, students combine core modules (which are common to all the degrees) with those specialist modules that are required for their chosen degree, and other modules of their choice.

The 4 year degree BSc Computers and Electronics (GH46) offers an alternative route into the other degree schemes. This scheme has a foundation year with introductory modules that allow progression into year 1 of a standard degree.
