Computer Science and Engineering (with Foundation Year) Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) - BEng (Hon)

This is a four-year programme that includes a year of foundational study and leads directly into the degree course. Our foundation year is intended to prepare you for your subsequent years of studying, offering you the chance to strengthen your skills, knowledge and confidence.

The Computer Science and Engineering degree goes beyond traditional computer science, combining software development with a deep understanding of hardware systems and engineering design. You’ll graduate ready to develop integrated hardware and software solutions for emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, networking, cybersecurity, and other intelligent and autonomous systems.

You will develop expertise in embedded systems, microprocessor architecture and object oriented design, learning how to optimise performance across the full hardware and software stack. By combining computational thinking with practical engineering principles, the course encourages creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial thinking in technology development. You will also explore the professional, ethical and sustainability considerations shaping modern technologies.

The course is informed by current developments in computing, engineering and intelligent digital systems, aligning with regional and national strengths in advanced technologies and digital innovation.

Whether you choose the three year BEng route or the four year integrated Master’s MEng route, you will benefit from industry informed teaching and practical project-based learning, developing a distinctive and industry relevant skillset. The degree is also designed to support future accreditation by relevant professional bodies.
