Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Electrical and Electronic) with Bachelor of Mathematical and Computer Sciences
Why combine Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Mathematical and Computer Sciences?
From smart devices to medical imagery and defence technologies, electrical and electronic engineering contributes to every aspect of modern life.
With maths and computer science underpinning developments in this high technology field, specialised expertise offers huge benefits.
What will you do?
- Study engineering concepts in state-of-the-art facilities, including a 3D prototyping lab, autonomous vehicles lab, and electric machines lab.
- Take core subjects in maths, physics, computing and systems engineering.
- Build fundamental knowledge in statistics and mathematical modelling.
- Study complex computer systems and theories.
- Work on practical and relevant projects with industry partners.
- Complete an eight-week practical engineering experience.
This is a 5-year double, not combined degree. You’ll graduate with two separate parchments, a greater scope of career prospects and a competitive edge in the job market.
