Electronics and Computer Science, MEng (Hons)

Electronics and computer science form a fascinating and highly valuable combination, driving major advances in computer design and communications technology over the past 50 years. Our program provides a solid foundation in both fields, teaching you to design and apply hardware and software for general-purpose and embedded systems. The Master of Engineering (MEng) degree suits aspiring professional engineers or computer scientists in industry, offering more advanced study than our BEng, with greater emphasis on industrial skills and an MEng project in an industrial company during Years 4 and 5.Strong industry ties, via our Industrial Liaison Board and collaborations, shape the curriculum and provide access to state-of-the-art labs, guest lectures, and facilities like specialist laboratories and makerspaces. Benefits include a six-month final-year placement in industry or overseas, research-led teaching in Edinburgh (top 2 UK student city, QS 2024), excellent career prospects in microelectronics, a balanced curriculum blending theory, practice, and group work, plus accreditation by the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
