Courses

All of our MEng and BEng degree programmes share a common theme of Systems and Control Engineering but also offer great flexibility. You can choose from Control Systems, Computer Systems or Mechatronic and Robotic Systems. You can also combine our established Systems and Control programme with Management studies or a foreign language.

Description
Systems and Control Engineering H690/H660 The aim of this course is to cover advanced control system design technologies as well as standard approaches to systems engineering and computer control. The primary application of control systems engineering is in industrial systems, but it can also be applied in many other disciplines. For example, ideas that can help a systems engineer design a modern aircraft flight control system can also be applied to complex biological processes, economic systems and environmental control.

Computer Systems Engineering H130/G500 This course is designed for students who wish to add a greater knowledge and understanding of computers to their basic Systems Engineering skills. You will take the core modules on systems and can choose from a range of computer hardware and software engineering modules. The emphasis in this course is on developing an understanding of the use of computers, both in design and programming, within complex engineering systems and in many diverse applications. This distinguishes the course from more conventional computer science and software engineering courses.

Systems and Control Engineering (Engineering Management) HN62/H1NF You will register for our established MEng degree in Systems and Control Engineering and will initially concentrate on the technical engineering subjects required for a professional Engineering career. You will then have the option, subject to progression requirements, to transfer to the Engineering plus Management option of the degree at the end of the second year. The third year contains enhanced management content, and the final (fourth) year involves a substantial element of management study in our internationally renowned Management School.
