Computer Science and Electronic Engineering BEng (Hons)

Read more about this course on the full programme page.

Course overview

This programme combines the core elements of electronic engineering with those of computer science, which is the intellectual discipline underlying all aspects of software development.

Combining elements from these two disciplines will equip you with an added breadth of knowledge and greater specialisation. Our graduates are in demand because of their fluency both in the language of electronic engineers, as well as that of computer scientists, enabling you to bridge the gap between software systems and the real world.

You’ll be taught by staff who are actively engaged in research, most with international reputations, ensuring you’ll receive the most up-to-date and commercially-relevant education.

Take your university experience even further on a paid year-long industry placement, or spend a year abroad at a partner university or our China campus.

What you’ll learn

  • A broad educational background in electronics and computing
  • Critical thinking
  • Teamwork
  • The practical application of concepts and theory, always with awareness of their relevance to the real world
  • How to take projects from conception, through to design, implementation and operation
  • Use of industry standard tools, technologies and working methods.

Accreditation

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 Engineer.

Accreditation in detail

IET

IET are one of the world’s leading professional societies for engineers and technicians and their accreditation covers a whole range of subjects including electrical, electronic, manufacturing, mechanical, systems and software engineering, as well as bioengineering, nanotechnology and renewable energy. It’s recognised globally as an indicator of quality through the Washington and Sydney accords, which are governed by the International Engineering Alliance (IEA).

Course content

Discover what you'll learn, what you'll study, and how you'll be taught and assessed.

Year two

The second year builds on the first with core modules in software engineering, database development, digital electronics, and signals and communication systems. More time is spent in the electronics laboratory doing practical work to consolidate the knowledge learnt in lectures and partaking in an extended team project.

On the 2+2 programme, you'll study your third and fourth years at the University of Liverpool. These will be year two and year three of the University of Liverpool's programme of study.

Programme details and modules listed are illustrative only and subject to change.

Year three

You will undertake an extended individual project during this year. Recent projects have included real-time GPS tracking of a vehicle fleet by mobile phones, and mobile multi-user dungeon (MUD) game using SMS messaging. You can choose lecture-based modules from both Electronic Engineering and Computer Science.

Year three semesters one and two final year project

You will undertake either a Computer Science final year project (COMP390) or an Electrical Engineering and Electronics final year project (ELEC340).

On the 2+2 programme, you'll study your third and fourth years at the University of Liverpool. These will be year two and year three of the University of Liverpool's programme of study.
