Undergraduate courses

The School of Systems Engineering offers a wide range of degrees:

• BSc Artificial Intelligence
• MEng Artificial Intelligence
• BSc Computer Science
• BSc Cybernetics
• MEng Cybernetics
• BEng Electronic Engineering
• MEng Electronic Engineering
• BSc Information Technology
• BSc Robotics
• MEng Robotics

Single-subject degrees exist in each of these areas, together with joint degrees between these subjects and some with other Schools. Almost all degrees are accredited by the relevant professional bodies, and this was reaffirmed following the accreditation visit in 2008, and hence help to meet the requirements for professional status such as Chartered Engineer.

These degrees lead to a BSc, a BEng or an MEng qualification. BSc and BEng degrees are basically three year 'bachelor' degrees which meet some of the educational requirements for Chartered status - the remaining requirements can be met by a suitable 'matching' section, such as an MSc degree.

MEng degrees, which last an extra year, are integrated undergraduate-masters degrees which meet all of the educational requirements for Chartered status. These provide more depth and breadth, including more current research.

Many degrees have a variant which includes an 'Industrial Year'. These are like the standard bachelor or masters degree but have an extra year where the student spends a year working in industry, gaining valuable experience (and money). For those degrees without such a variant, we do have a mechanism to create an applied variant for students who request it.
