4-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Continue to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Computer Science and Electronic Engineering

This University of Liverpool programme combines the core elements of Electronic Engineering with those of Computer Science, the intellectual discipline underlying all aspects of software development.

Teaching is divided between the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics and the Department of Computer Science. Combining elements from these two disciplines will equip students with both an added breadth of knowledge, and greater specialization. Liverpool's graduates are in demand because of their fluency both in the language of electronic engineers as well as that of computer scientists, enabling them to bridge the gap between software systems and the real world.

In the third year students will have the option of selecting advanced modules from either department according to their chosen area of specialization. Electronics options include Verilog digital system design, Digital control, Data communications and Optical information systems. Typical computer science options are Biocomputation, Image processing, Computer vision and graphics, Advanced web technologies and e-Commerce technologies. Also in the final year, students will undertake a 20-week individual project. Recent projects have included ‘real-time GPS tracking of a vehicle fleet by mobile phones’, and a ‘mobile multi-user dungeon (MUD) game using SMS messaging’.
