    Course Summary

    The University of Essex’s Computer Systems Engineering BEng degree program gives you a solid grounding in Computer Science, and then moves into a specialty in Systems Engineering. This three year BEng degree will see you gaining experience with coding for embedded microprocessor systems and the important elements of today’s operating systems. You’ll also gain a familiarity with the hardware on which these systems need to run.

    You’ll learn in classrooms, but also in some of the UK’s finest dedicated computer science and engineering labs, and with true experts in their fields. More than 2/3 of the University of Essex’s computer science research was ranked as either ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ in the last Research Excellence Framework.

    You may also apply to spend a year in industrial placement and/or a year studying abroad. Either option will give you a great deal of applicable experience no matter where your professional or academic career takes you, and will give you vital industry contacts in an increasingly globalised economy.

    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.
