Course summary
This four-year Electronic Engineering with Artificial Intelligence degree builds upon the BEng Electronic Engineering programme and focuses on the design and implementation of state-of-the-art artificial intelligence techniques, with consideration of image processing and computer vision, machine learning, robotic systems, computational biology and finance. This programme will allow you to focus your knowledge in your third and fourth years by selecting options from an extensive range of specialist technical modules and you will participate in a group project that will aim to solve a real industry problem. This project will test and further develop your technical skills but also will develop your management skills as you will work in a team that needs to deliver a solution to a real engineering problem. Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Southampton has consistently ranked in the UK top 5 over recent years (Guardian University Guide, Complete University Guide and The Times and Sunday Times). We have an unrivalled reputation for our facilities, and have recently invested £8m in our teaching labs. We also have a £100m state-of-the-art interdisciplinary clean room complex and high-voltage laboratory.
