Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: HG6L

Here's what University of Liverpool says about its Computer Science and Electronic Engineering with a Year in Industry course.

Smart devices will shape the way we live now and in the future. The rapid pace of technological change and the diversity of modern applications require a broad educational background and a lifelong commitment to learning new and specialised skills.

This 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 you with both an added breadth of knowledge, and greater specialisation. Our graduates are in demand because of their fluency both in the language of electronic engineers as well as that of computer scientists, enabling you to bridge the gap between software systems and the real world.

This programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as an Incorporated Engineer and partially meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

First and second year I felt was inadequate when it comes to this. However third year things appear clearer and I see support everywhere from my course, lecturers, library and guild. The support provided can flourish when no other factors are in the way such as Covid and strikes

Amazing so many opportunities but I am only really aware of them now in my final year. I wish things were ran better during my first and second year as I felt I missed out. The library is very helpful and we have a student guild which provides food drink and social space
