In your second, more advanced electronics and system design topics will be covered in the electronic modules. This will include electronic system design, manufacturing, and testing. Computer operating system and advanced programming topics will be taught where security issues will also be introduced. Communication and networking module will introduce the technologies and protocols used in modern communication system.
Modules
Analogue and Digital Systems – 20 credits
Object Oriented Programming – 20 credits
Operating Systems, Security and Networks – 20 credits

There’s no better way to find out what you love doing than trying it out for yourself, which is why a work placement2 can often be beneficial. Work placements usually occur between your second and final of study. They’re a great way to help you explore your potential career path and gain valuable work experience, whilst developing transferable skills for the future.
If you choose to do a work placement, you will pay a reduced tuition fee3 of £1,250. For more information, please go to the fees and funding section. During this time you will receive guidance from your employer or partner institution, along with your assigned academic mentor who will ensure you have the support you need to complete your placement.

In the final, you will continue your studies in advanced hardware and software design, but with a focus on individual/group projects in which you will perform a detailed research or design study into a technical aspect from the course with the help of an experienced supervisor. In the hardware design areas topics such as FPGA based system design and system on Chip design will be covered whereas in the software area advanced security and machine learning topics will be the key focus.
Modules
Security – 20 credits
Hardware Realisation of a Computer System – 20 credits
Individual/Group-based Project Preparation – 20 credits
Individual/Group-based Project Realisation – 20 credits
System on Chip Design – 20 credits
Optional modules

In this additional, more advanced topics related to computer engineering will be investigated which is beyond the scope of undergraduate study. More advanced design techniques including embedded system and digital system design approaches will be examined. You will also undertake a group-based industrial project relevant to the modern engineering problems.
