Combined Honours Programmes

Computing and Electronics (Major)

Campus: Docklands

Why Study Computing and Electronics as part of a Combined Honours Degree?

This programme is designed to provide a broad education encompassing the principles, techniques and practices in computing & electronics which will equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to obtain employment in the computing and/or electronics industry

In addition to UEL’s computing facilities, the School has a large PC based network which offers a range of engineering software packages including Computer Aided Design. The electronics and microprocessor laboratories give students the opportunity to merge the two disciplines – Computing and Electronics.

The School prides itself on its student support systems. We operate an open door policy with students encouraged to consult with their tutors. Personal Tutors and Programme Tutors will monitor your progress and provide assistance and advice with academic and personal problems. We are pleased for students to consult whichever tutor they are most comfortable talking to.

What will I study?

Project work is an important feature of this programme. Throughout your studies you will undertake small projects as part of the module assessment. During the final year of the programme students will be required to complete a project in the form of independent research and study of a computing/electronic engineering problem. This project will be supervised by a member of staff with an interest in the subject and will normally include laboratory work. The project constitutes one quarter of the final year of the programme.

Assessment varies from module to module but will include examinations, coursework, project work, laboratory reports and tests of competence in theoretical and practical sessions.

Which modules will I study?

You can view a full guide to the modules you have to study as part of your chosen pathway, along with a full range of option modules available by viewing the Single & Combined Honours Programmes Guide for Computing and Electronics

Can I study a Combined Honours Programme as a Part-time degree?

All our Combined Honours Programmes can be studied on a Part-time or Full-time basis. As a Part-time student, you will study the same degree programme, but at a slower pace. You will study up to 4 modules per year (instead of 6 as a full-time student).

What career opportunities are open to me if I study Computing and Electronics?

Employment opportunities are available in electronic engineering, computer programming and microprocessor based systems engineering. In addition to which, the BEng Computing and Electronics programme gives numerous opportunities to go on to study post-graduate engineering programmes
