We welcome students from all over the world and are pleased to advise on appropriate courses in relation to your present or planned qualifications. It is often easiest to inquire by telephone or email. 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.
The joint programmes with electronics produce graduates with a unique blend of hardware and software skills. All members of staff conduct research at the leading edge of their specialisms, working within research groups, many of which benefit from close collaboration with colleagues in Electronics and in Management. There are fruitful interactions, for example, in the modelling of systems, in image processing, and in digital system design. We are keen for applicants to seek sponsorship, although we do not arrange sandwich courses. The University course structure allows a flexible study pattern for students who wish to spend a period with their sponsoring companies.
