As this course is co-taught by the Department of Mathematical Sciences, you will experience high quality teaching by academics in both departments as well as being able to study some modules from our highly rated Engineering departments.
- Innovative programme – Our degrees were completely redesigned in 2019, making use of the latest research in good teaching practice and ensuring our students develop the skills they need in the modern world.
- Authentic teaching and assessment – Our teaching philosophy emphasises relevant and meaningful activities to prepare you for the future.
- Support you can rely on – All our staff have an open-door policy, you don’t need to make an appointment to drop in to see us. We also offer one-to-one tutoring, dedicated mathematics support, and weekly peer assisted learning sessions.
- Master coding – Coding is an immensely valuable skill, we will take you right from the basics – with no prior knowledge needed - to being proficient in multiple programming languages.
- Real-world skills – Gain experience in electronics prototyping, systems design, project management, computer aided design, 3D printing, big data science, and AI.
- Exploratory laboratories – Life doesn’t come with a recipe book, and neither do our practical modules! Instead, you will have time to experiment, follow your own interests, and cultivate both physics-based and transferable skills utilising our modern facilities.
- Connect with employers – All of our degrees offer a paid placement year in industry and experience working on industry-defined research and development projects.
- Contribute to ground-breaking research – You will be taught by internationally renowned staff who are experts in their field and have the opportunity to conduct research in our state-of-the-art research labs.
Although students are given independence and required to take responsibility for their own learning, my lecturers were very friendly and supportive. The open door policy meant I could drop by and ask for help when required. I felt welcomed and supported by my department and by the university services.
