Programme specification

Communications, information, visualisation and sensing technologies are increasingly being integrated into smartphones, advanced manufacturing, electronic healthcare and other areas. As a result, the interface between electronics and computing is a key growth area for the technology industry.
You will study the foundations of electronics and computing and gain an in-depth education in the key underpinning topics of electronics and computer engineering such as electronic circuit principles, computer algorithms and programming, data communications and embedded systems. You will also develop in-demand knowledge and skills in specialised topics such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, internet-of-things, and cybersecurity, among others. The programme will provide pathways to a range of potential careers as the disciplinary knowledge and skills developed are in high demand across a variety of sectors.
This programme will equip you with the skills you need to succeed in industry, including design, problem solving, numeracy and analysis, together with transferable skills, such as communication and working in a team. Virtually all high-tech fields require engineers with expertise in electronics and in computer engineering, which means that this degree leads to an impressive variety of career opportunities across sectors and industries that span the globe.
