About Computer Science And Electronic Engineering Meng (hons) in University of Liverpool

This MEng (Hons) degree programme provides added depth and breadth to the BEng (Hons) programme.

Programme in detail

The first two years of this programme are identical to the BEng (Hons) in Computer Science and Electronic Engineering (HH66); giving you the flexibility to choose between programmes if you are uncertain which one is your first choice at present. In the fourth year you will also undertake a major group project in which you collectively assign responsibilities and management roles within the team.

In your third and fourth years you will study a greater range of subjects including management of design and total quality management, important areas for the engineering leaders of the future, and you will have the opportunity to study more advanced topics such as Computational intelligence, Telecommunications, Advanced system modelling and control, and Multi-agent systems. The final year includes a 20-week individual project.

This MEng (Hons) programme is the best preparation for either graduate level employment in either the computer or the electronics industry, or a research degree in one of the many strong research groups in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics. It is also a quicker route to Chartered Engineer status.
