Offers vary and take into account factors raised in your discussion, referee's report and individual circumstances. We welcome students from all over the world and are pleased to advise on appropriate courses in relation to your present or planned qualifications. Each degree programme is made up of a set of units which are generally prescribed in the first year, but which you have more freedom to select in subsequent years. All courses are taught through a mixture of lectures, seminars, tutorials and laboratory work. The laboratory activities involve assignments that develop your design, practical and presentational skills.
Progress is assessed by a combination of coursework, examination, and project work.
Recent graduates have made careers in industry, commerce, research and government. Several work with multi-media systems where their skills in hardware and software are particularly valued. Others work for household names such as BT, Ford, British Airways, as well as smaller companies and start-ups both in the UK and overseas. They work within research groups, some of which benefit from cross-fertilisation with colleagues in computing. We are keen for applicants to seek sponsorship, although we do not arrange sandwich courses.
