Electronic & Computer Engineering

Electronic and Computer Engineering is a discipline at the core of almost every aspect of modern technological life. From mobile devices and embedded systems to communication networks, robotics, and artificial intelligence hardware, the field encompasses the design, analysis, and implementation of both the physical circuits and the software that brings them to life. Electronic engineers work at the interface between fundamental physics and practical application, while computer engineers bridge hardware and software, creating the systems on which digital infrastructure depends.

At Liverpool Hope University, this three-year, full-time degree reflects the latest developments in software and hardware, equipping you with both theoretical understanding and practical skills in a field that continues to evolve rapidly. You will develop competencies in electronics, computer architecture, programming, and digital systems design, supported by exposure to cutting-edge research and the hands-on laboratory work that engineering education demands. The degree includes a sandwich year and work placements alongside the option of a year abroad, giving you extended professional experience and international exposure that will set you apart in a technically demanding job market.

Graduates of electronic and computer engineering programmes are in demand across a wide range of sectors: consumer electronics, telecommunications, defence, aerospace, automotive technology, medical devices, energy systems, and the software and computing industries all require engineers with this combination of skills. The analytical rigour and problem-solving capability the degree develops also provide a strong foundation for postgraduate study in engineering, computer science, communications, or robotics, for those who wish to specialise further or pursue research.
