Course summary
Overview How do everyday items like cars, mobile phones, games consoles and washing machines work? How can we use computer science to control equipment and machinery in the food and oil industries? On this BEng in Computer Systems Engineering, you’ll master computer science and discover how to apply it to hardware – such as embedded devices, networks and electronics. If you have an interest in computing, whether it’s through building your own hardware or writing your own code, this course is designed for you. You will be passionate about the contribution computing can and does make to humanity, in everything from arts, culture and entertainment, to business, health, communications, and society as a whole. And you will follow the exciting developments of the field in the press and on blogs and be excited about contributing your own ideas and creativity to this always-evolving sector. About This Course This degree is highly practical, allowing you to combine your interest in computing science with hardware-based subjects such as electronics, embedded devices and networking. Crucially, it will give you the flexibility to deepen your knowledge in specialised areas or explore a broader range of subjects. You’ll start by mastering computer programming using various languages and on different platforms, giving you a solid grounding in software. You’ll build on this by focusing on hardware – including looking at computer architectures and networks, not just in PCs but in a range of devices. Underpinning this will be the practical study of electronics, and you’ll develop your skills in circuit design and construction too. You will also have options to take subjects such as cyber security and audio and visual processing. Disclaimer Course details are subject to change.
