COMPUTER ENGINEERING
Solve real-world problems with hardware and software.
Our Computer Engineering programme equips you with in-demand skills in electrical engineering, computer hardware design, and software. You’ll learn how computing systems are built from the ground up – from circuits to code.
Whether you want to pursue a career in the semiconductor industry, or want to work in areas such as systems programming and operating system design, our Computer Engineering programme provides a strong foundation for careers in the world’s innovative fields.
How is Computer Engineering different from Computer Science?
Computer Engineering focus on electronics and hardware, while Computer Science places greater emphasis on algorithms, software and theoretical foundations.
You could become:
Applications Developer
Solve complex problems, improve existing products and build new features to help people around the globe connect with each other.
