Computer Science and Technology （in English）

Introduction
This degree programme combines the core elements of electronic engineering with those of computer science, to equip graduates with a detailed knowledge of both hardware and software development.
What knowledge and skills will I acquire?
By the time you graduate you should:
1. understand the fundamentals of computer science, electrical and electronic engineering
2. develop relevant knowledge and technical skills in mathematics, software engineering, design and management
3. be able to apply combined knowledge, skills and understandings effectively to investigate and resolve complex problems in research and industrial environments
What are my career prospects?
Typically, graduates of this degree are employed in electronic- and computer-equipment manufacturers, project consultancies, universities and research institutions. The quantitative and transferable skills you will acquire during your studies, mean that you could also pursue a career in a non-technical profession, such as banking, accountancy, management or law. The programme also provides a foundation for further graduate level study in engineering and computer science.
What will I study?
At level 1, you will learn about:
1. electrical circuits
2. engineering mathematics
3. Java programming
4. computer systems
5. digital and integrated electronics
6. databases, and
7. experimental methods in computing

At level 2, you will build on this foundation and also study:
1. microprocessor systems
2. analogue and digital communication
3. software engineering
4. instrumentation
5. control systems
6. continuous and discrete time signals
 
In the final year, you will undertake a research project, spanning both semesters. Alongside the project, you will further develop your knowledge of communications, databases, computer systems and software engineering and you also learn about:
1. bio-computation
2. digital design, and
3. multi-agent systems or advanced web technologies
