This degree is tailored to the needs of information engineers. It covers both discrete information handling and continuous signal electronics. The main emphasis is on the design of large systems including both their software and hardware aspects.

You will gain an understanding of the link between hardware and software in modern information systems. This involves a wide range of study from the theory of computation, computer methods and information processing, through to the design of electronic circuitry and the application of modern electronics.

An important part of the MEng programme is taking part in industrial or research activity, either in the UK or abroad. You spend three months working, under guidance, as a junior engineer in a real commercial environment.

Stage 1

Compulsory modules

• CSC1011  Introduction to Problem Solving and Programming
• CSC1012  Object-oriented Programming
• EEE1002  Electronics I
• EEE1003  Circuit Theory
• EEE1005  Signals and Communications I
• ENG1001  Engineering Mathematics I

Stage 2

Compulsory modules

• CSC2011  Advanced Programming
