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.

Take your university experience even further on a paid year-long industry placement, or spend a year abroad at a partner university or our China campus.
