About this course
Master of Engineering in Computer Engineering is an undergraduate degree within Electrical and Electronic Engineering, focusing on the design and implementation of modern computer hardware and software systems. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Signal Processing, Microelectronics, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students complete substantial project work and have the option to undertake a one-year industrial placement as part of their studies. The first year establishes fundamental knowledge through modules such as High-Level Programming, Low-Level Programming, Digital Computer Systems, and Algorithms and Analysis, supported by dedicated laboratory and mathematics courses. The second year progresses to subjects including Computer Architecture, Electronics, Signals and Control, and Systematic Design, alongside an interdisciplinary group project. In the third year, students undertake an individual project spanning two phases, while selecting from optional modules such as Advanced Computer Networks, Advanced Databases, Computer Vision, and Foundations of Machine Learning. The final year features a collaborative Group Design Project and a wide selection of advanced options covering topics such as Deep Learning Research, Digital Forensics, Hardware Accelerators, and Intelligent Mobile Robotics.
