The wired society, intelligent appliances, and the information revolution are phrases we are all used to in describing the increasing integration of electronic and computer technology in our working and personal lives.

Engineers, technologists and designers are the architects and implementers of this technological revolution and are in very great demand throughout industry, commerce and the public sector. We aim to produce well educated, imaginative and professionally trained engineers and designers who can meet the challenge of rapid technological development.

Our undergraduate courses allow you to specialise so that you can match your studies to your own particular interest, or maintain a broad approach. You can also develop language skills and may have the opportunity to work abroad either as part of your scheme of studies or on placement. We have well established links with organisations in France, Germany and Italy.

Electronic and Computer Engineering is one of the largest disciplines in the University with over 60 members of staff involved in teaching and research, an undergraduate population of over 800 and a postgraduate population of over 200. Despite our size, there is a relaxed and friendly relationship between students and staff and we take a genuine interest and pride in the success of our students and graduates. This, together with acknowledged high quality teaching and resources, results in an excellent record of employment amongst our graduates.

We benefit from being located near much of the country’s information engineering industry. Our courses and research are aimed squarely at developing the expertise, knowledge and new ideas needed for the information age, and cover the full breadth of electronic, computer and multimedia engineering.
Brunel has consistently been placed in the top three UK universities in the PIP’s annual Graduate Recruiters Survey for electronic engineering.

Electronic Engineering was awarded Grade 5 for its research in the last Research Assessment Exercise.
