    Course Summary

    Sheffield Hallam University’s BEng program in Computer Systems Engineering begins with foundation level modules but ends with students receiving a BCS accredited BEng degree in a rapidly expanding industry.

    The foundation year makes a BEng in Computer Systems Engineering approachable to many students who would not be able to enter into a typical 3 year BEng program. It provides you with a grounding in the basic Mathematical, Engineering, Electronics and Materials Science skills that you’ll need to found a prosperous career in Computer Systems Engineering.

    You’ll have the opportunity to spend a year in work placement between years 2 and 3 of this program. This will add a substantial amount of real world practical experience on top of your academic qualifications, and will make your CV much more attractive to potential employers. The placement will be arranged through Sheffield Hallam University, though the most desirable placements can be a bit competitive.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.
