Our Computer Systems Engineering BEng degree is a modern course that has been developed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to design and build hardware and software for computer systems.<br/><br/>You will be introduced to computing and engineering and gain knowledge on computer hardware and software. You’ll learn about programming and computer architecture and then progress to advanced computing technologies. In your final year, you can choose specialist subjects like autonomous systems, artificial intelligence systems, and the internet of things.<br/><br/>Access is available to modern technical facilities including computer, electronics, and power and control laboratories where you’ll work on your experiments. The latest industry standard engineering software packages are available for you to use in dedicated computer clusters.<br/><br/>Our BEng computer systems engineering course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). This professional engineering institution ensures that your engineering degree meets the academic requirement to qualify as a professional engineer. This accredited BEng degree in computer systems engineering can be studied full-time over three years, or four years with a placement year. The BEng degree meets the educational requirement to become an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).<br/><br/>We encourage the placement year option. This time in industry helps you to further prepare for the world of work and you’ll have a year’s worth of invaluable professional experience when you graduate. If you decide to go on an engineering placement year, you will have the opportunity to work in an engineering or technology company.<br/><br/>A computer systems engineering degree from Brunel will give you the design, analytical and creative skills to play a leading role in the dynamic and rapidly expanding technological industries.<br/><br/>Opting for the year in industry during your computer systems engineering degree often leads to an offer of a computer engineering job from your placement company.<br/><br/>Brunel’s closeness to the highest concentration of the UK’s electronics engineering and telecommunications industry – in London and along the M4 corridor – means our placement and careers network is second to none.<br/><br/>Our graduates have gone on to work for high-profile multinational organisations including IBM, Intel, Microsoft, National Grid and Siemens.<br/><br/>Computer systems engineering offers varied careers paths in a fast-growing professional field. A degree in computer systems engineering will set you up with the knowledge and skills to develop next generation computer systems.
