BEng Electronic and Electrical Engineering (Computer Systems)
About this course
Electronic and electrical engineering with a focus on computer systems addresses the design and development of the hardware and integrated electronic systems that make modern computing possible. Electronic engineering covers circuit design, signal processing, and the microelectronic components that process information at speed and scale. Electrical engineering adds expertise in power systems and control. The computer systems specialism sharpens the focus on the interfaces between hardware and software, the embedded systems that underpin industrial control, communications, and consumer electronics. At Brunel University London, this three-year full-time degree is accredited, providing assurance of the educational standards achieved, and equips you with strong analytical and innovative skills for careers in electronics, electrical power, control, and communications engineering. You will work on hands-on projects, which may include electric vehicles and autonomous systems, and you will have opportunities to contribute to externally funded research and industry-based final-year projects. A foundation year is included for those needing additional preparation, and a year abroad is available for those wishing to broaden their international experience. The typical entry tariff is 120 points. Graduates from electronic and electrical engineering programmes enter a job market with strong and sustained demand. Roles span circuit design, power electronics, embedded systems, industrial automation, telecommunications, semiconductor engineering, and the design of autonomous and electric vehicle systems. Many pursue professional registration as chartered engineers, and postgraduate study in electronic engineering, power electronics, communications, or control systems is available for those wishing to specialise further or pursue research.
