Computer Systems Engineering

About this course

Computer systems engineering sits at the junction of hardware and software, concerned with the design, construction, and integration of the computing systems that underpin almost every aspect of modern life. Where computer science focuses primarily on algorithms and software, and electronic engineering on circuits and components, computer systems engineering brings them together, dealing with the full stack from embedded microcontrollers and digital circuits through to operating systems, network protocols, and the software that makes systems behave as intended. It is the discipline behind the processors in your phone, the control systems in vehicles, the infrastructure of the internet, and the safety-critical systems in aircraft, medical devices, and industrial plant. At Brunel University London, this BEng programme includes a foundation year, which provides a solid grounding in the mat
