Course Description

This degree covers both the hardware and software engineering aspects of the discipline. During the course you will gain extensive practical experience and we provide good access to interactive computer services.

With the continuing increasing pace of technological development, and the need for increased computing performance in applications such as high performance computing, mobile computing and embedded systems, develop the skills and expertise needed to become a specialist in computer system design. In the final year, you can specialise in subjects such as IoT, Machine Learning and Signal Processing so you’re never tied to a single career path! 

This courses sit at the cutting edge boundary between computers and electronics. Many graduates from these courses go on to very highly paid and rewarding employment designing and building the next generation of smart appliances, Internet of Things devices and embedded systems. The Beng degree is 3 years where as the MEng involves study for an extra year and provides a more in-depth study of the subject. 

Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partly meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineers.

‘Placement Year’ and 'International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time.
