Computers with Electronics (including placement year) Beng (Hon)

Combining the study of computer science and electronics, and with no requirement for A-level maths, our BSc Computers with Electronics is a great way to investigate computer hardware and software, operating systems, and digital systems design.<br/><br/>Large parts of everyday life depend on computing, electronics and telecommunications. There’s no longer a distinct line between the disciplines – advances in electronics have made the internet, innovative telecommunications, and inexpensive computing products possible. Our work is driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence in both disciplines.<br/><br/>In particular, you focus on:<br/><br/><br/>- Digital systems design at gate level, and how complex designs can be constructed from basic components<br/><br/><br/>- Combinatorial and sequential logic<br/><br/><br/>- Circuit design<br/><br/><br/>- The functionality of modern operating systems<br/><br/><br/>- C Programming<br/><br/><br/>Our School is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Today’s computer scientists are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental.<br/><br/>With plenty of opportunity for practical work in which you apply your theoretical knowledge, you graduate ready to move into a range of roles in the technology sector.<br/><br/>**Programming at Essex**<br/><br/>Teaching someone to programme is about opening a door. In your first year at Essex you will study a module that introduces you to programming using C. We assess your ability to think in a programmatic way in the very first week of term and if you require additional support, we offer classes which will boost your skills and confidence with programming.
