Computer Science and Electronic Engineering with a Year in Industry
University of LiverpoolLiverpool, United Kingdom
Course overview
Smart devices shape the way we live, both now and in the future. Study Computer Science and Electronic Engineering at Liverpool and ensure you’re a part of the rapid technological development taking place globally. This programme combines the core elements of electronic engineering with those of computer science, which is the intellectual discipline underlying all aspects of software development.
Combining elements from these two disciplines will equip you with an added breadth of knowledge and greater specialisation. Our graduates are in demand because of their fluency both in the language of electronic engineers, as well as that of computer scientists, enabling you to bridge the gap between software systems and the real world. You’ll be taught by staff who are actively engaged in research, most with international reputations, ensuring you’ll receive the most up-to-date and commercially-relevant education.
The MEng degree programme provides added depth to the BEng (Hons), and you will study a greater range of subjects. You will spend your third year on industrial placement acquiring experience and awareness of practical business and industrial environments. It is the best preparation for either graduate-level employment or undertaking a research degree.
This course is pending accreditation by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. IET are one of the world’s leading professional societies for engineers and technicians and their accreditation covers a whole range of subjects including electrical, electronic, manufacturing, mechanical, systems and software engineering, as well as bioengineering, nanotechnology and renewable energy. It’s recognised globally as an indicator of quality through the Washington and Sydney accords, which are governed by the International Engineering Alliance (IEA).
