Course Description

Prepare for a range of engineering careers with our extended computer engineering degree. Entry points are lower than for our standard BEng and an extra year will boost your study skills.

Our extended degree in computer engineering will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed for a career as a professional engineer. The entry requirements are lower on this course as it includes a foundation year to prepare you for degree-level study.

As well as learning about programming theory, you'll gain practical experience in developing applications for computing platforms and hardware. You will have the opportunity to create applications for robots, embedded and real-time systems, and other innovative information and communications technology.

What you should know about this course

  • You'll experience our research-led delivery from computer security to the Internet of Things.
  • Gain project-based, learning skills from the first year of study on this course. -Be at the cutting edge of technology while setting future standards.

Students are assessed through a combination of course work, exams and practical assessment where relevant. Each course has formal assessments which count towards your grade. Some courses may also include 'practice' assignments, which help you monitor progress and do not count towards your final grade.
