Electronics BEng Courses
Broad based courses which aim to produce well rounded electronic engineers with high levels of analytical and engineering design skills
Common first year grounding in all electronic engineering disciplines, with increasing content of either electrical, communications or
computer engineering in years 2 and 3
• BEng Electronic and Electrical Engineering• BEng Electronic and Communications Engineering • BEng Electronic and Computer Engineering
School of Engineering and Design
The aim of the course is to provide professional engineers who have the required skills to design the next generation of computer systems
Computer Systems BEng Courses• BEng Computer Systems Engineering
The four main course themes are:Programming and Software Engineering
Computer Architecture and SystemsData Communications
Digital and Electronic Systems Design
By selecting suitable final year modules and a relevant project, students may elect to
graduate with one of the specialist degrees:Computer Systems Engineering (Networks)Computer Systems Engineering (Software)

Level 3 BEng Courses
School of Engineering and Design
MEng and BEng (Hons)The MEng has:
A more wide-ranging group project with an industrial and/or commercial involvement
An increased depth and range of specialist understanding and knowledge
A broader understanding of leadership, social and business awareness
A wider awareness of risk, environmental, health and safety, and regulatory issues
School of Engineering and Design
MEng Programmes• Aim to produce graduates equipped to play leading
roles in related industries • First 2 years follow the BEng programmes • Third year similar to BEng but with 1 or 2 specialised
modules (programme specific)• All MEng programmes have a related BEng
programmeStudents may change during 1st year or at the end of year 2 if they meet the entry criteria
School of Engineering and Design
MEng Programmes• Final year
Specialised technical modules (from MSc programmes)
Interdisciplinary group project (work with MEng Mechanical Engineering students)
Innovation, Business, and EnterpriseResearch Methods and Ethics
