Course summary

Are you passionate about technology and eager to shape the future? Our Computer Science and Electronic Engineering degree offers a unique learning experience, equipping you with the skills to excel in a rapidly evolving field. Start by delving into the exciting world of computer science. You'll learn programming, problem-solving and the fundamentals of computer systems and networks, creating a solid base for your future studies. In your second year, we'll introduce you to the fascinating realm of electronic engineering. Explore concepts like analogue and digital circuit design, and electromagnetic fields and waves, while continuing to advance your computer science knowledge. Looking for real-world experience? Get future-focused by taking a year in industry to apply your skills and gain valuable insights. In your final year, you will undertake a major project in electronic engineering. This hands-on experience will give you the opportunity to tackle real-world problems and apply your theoretical knowledge to practical applications, such as embedded systems, hardware design or communication technologies. With a strong foundation in both computer science and electronic engineering, you'll be well-prepared for a diverse range of careers. Explore opportunities in telecommunications, software development, automation, and embedded systems. The possibilities are endless! Foundation Year courses have been designed for students who do not have the necessary academic qualifications needed to enter directly into the first year of a degree but who have the ability and commitment to do so. Once the Foundation Year has been completed successfully, you can then go on to complete your degree.

Assessment method

There will be a broad range of assessment methods so that students are exposed to the different types of tasks they might encounter in the workplace. These will include coursework in the form of programming projects, software artefacts, portfolios of work, written work (e.g. essays) and presentations. In some modules, students will encounter class tests and practical assessments. We continuously review the assessment methods used in order that they adequately prepare students for graduate-level employment.
