Computer Engineering

About this course

Computer engineering sits at the boundary between hardware and software, asking not just how to write programs that run on a computer, but how to design and build the computer itself. It combines principles from electrical engineering with the theory and practice of computer science, producing graduates who understand digital systems from the level of transistors and circuits all the way up to distributed networks and software architecture. As computing becomes embedded in everything from medical devices to autonomous vehicles, the ability to design hardware and software together has never been more valuable. At the University of Southampton, this three-year full-time degree gives you an in-depth understanding of how to design and implement modern computer systems. You will apply mathematical principles and engineering knowledge to the design of processors, digital circuits, operating s
