Faculty: Faculty of Science and Health, School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering. This four-year Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (BEng Hons) program focuses on the engineering principles behind computer systems, integrated with a dedicated year spent studying at a partner university abroad. This provides students with a global perspective and enhances their intercultural skills within the context of their computer systems engineering education. The extended duration allows for a broader academic experience and the opportunity to immerse themselves in a different academic and cultural environment while pursuing their engineering studies.

Career options in computer systems engineering, potentially with an international dimension. Graduates can pursue roles such as embedded systems engineer, hardware engineer, systems integrator, control systems engineer, and potentially software engineer roles with a focus on hardware interaction, benefiting from their enhanced academic profile and international experience, making them attractive to multinational companies and global opportunities in the technology sector.

The University of Essex offers a forward-thinking environment and a diverse international community within its Faculty of Science and Health. While Essex is a centre of world-leading research excellence for the social sciences, the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering also provides a strong academic environment. The university's location offers a balance of being close to beautiful countryside while also being only an hour away from London by train, providing access to both natural and urban environments and potential professional opportunities in London's tech sector. The inclusion of a year abroad provides a unique opportunity for personal and academic growth with an international dimension within their engineering studies.
