Electronic & Computer Systems Engineering
BEng/MEng (Hons)
This integrated degree in Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering will provide you with the skills needed to work with both software and hardware to design exciting electronic and computer-based systems.
You will gain a thorough grounding in electrical and electronic theory, signals and systems as well as computer programming. You will cover embedded system programming as well as networks and cyber security, addressing the professional and ethical considerations of digitisation.
With access to dedicated labs and facilities, you will have the chance to build electronic systems to consolidate theoretical work through development of hardware projects. The application of mathematics to the design of control systems will give you insight into the positioning and manipulation of automated machinery.
Through the development of programming skills in the first two years, you will go on to apply these skills to programming hardware and specialised microprocessor and controller chips in year three. In year four you will begin to master advanced skills across complex topics such as the Internet of Things, instrumentation and measurement techniques for data gathering.
Typical modules
The degree is based on several compulsory modules across the four years that include, but not limited to:
• Analog and Digital Electronics
• Engineering Mathematics
• Mechatronics
• Control Systems
• Signals and Communication Systems
• Power Electronics and Systems
• Digital Signal Processing
Options in year three and four will allow you to develop your specific interests and expertise.
Your future
• Real world experience can be obtained as part of your study completing an optional sandwich year placement/industrial internship.
• The degree is designed to allow accreditation by the Institute of Engineering & Technology, meaning graduates are on the path to becoming a Chartered Engineer.
Place of study: Llandaff Campus
Course length: 3-6 years fulltime, dependent upon taking a foundation year (see page 166) and/ or year-long sandwich placement
Entry requirements:
Typical offer: 112-120 UCAS Points (BEng) 120-128 UCAS Points (MEng)
• The average salary for a qualified Electrical Engineer in 2022 was £41,148 – Glassdoor.
