Computer Systems Engineering (Hons) University of Huddersfield

Overview

The Computer Systems Engineering (Hons) program offered by University of Huddersfield

Our course is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), which means that on completion you will satisfy the academic requirements for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) status. Once you've spent the required time in industry it could then lead to CEng status, your professional engineering qualification.

During the course we’ll introduce you to a range of computer systems and you’ll investigate the nature of computer systems engineering. From desktop and workstation computers through to high performance computer systems, we aim to give you a thorough background in a wide range of areas. You’ll have the chance to find out what’s really involved in computer systems engineering. Our course focuses on three core aspects - software programming techniques, computer systems architecture and electronics.

During your first and second year you'll take part in our initiative called EnABLE (Engineering in an Activity Based Learning Environment). This will give you the opportunity to work together in small teams solving real Computer Systems Engineering problems and testing your solution against other groups in a supportive and friendly competitive environment.

Careers

Previous graduates from courses in this subject area have gone on to work in a variety of roles such as systems engineer, electronic design engineer, senior electronic engineer and senior metrology engineer in organisations including BAE Systems, Siemens, Dyson and Bentley Motors Ltd.

Additionally, you may gain skills that are transferable to other industries and may be able to pursue a career that requires a good honours degree. You could go on to further study and the University has many options available for postgraduate study and research which may interest you.
