It may sound like a cliché, but as a child I would passionately dismantle my toys to see what was inside! Also I thought that since I was good with maths and physics, I’d be good at engineering. The course is interesting and relevant; at work I have to use the very basic concepts that are taught in the first year! Working for ARM Ltd, Cambridge for the last three years as a Layout/VLSI Engineer has frequently called upon my ability to understand transistor level micro-chip design. Having now transferred to customer support, I’m still using these basic principles to help our customers and assist other silicon chip designers.Sauod Moco Electronic and Communication Engineering BEng (Hons) Developer Relations ManagerARM Ltd

Avionic Systems BEng (Hons) UCAS code: H430Programme length: 3 years

Avionic Systems with Year in Industry BEng (Hons) UCAS code: H432Programme length: 4 years

What stops an aircraft from falling out of the sky? The fundamental reason is due to the aerodynamic lift acting on the wings but, for modern aircraft, sophisticated electronics is another essential ingredient.

Electronic systems associated with flight are known by the term ‘avionics’. Avionics covers the internal sensors and control systems within an aircraft; from airborne communication and navigation systems to ‘stealth’ aircraft design and flight control systems.

The avionics in most aircraft will be upgraded several times during the life of the airframe. This makes avionics one of the most important sectors in the aerospace industry and it is a major employer in the UK.

This degree programme aims to prepare you to work in a variety of related disciplines: radar systems, GPS/inertial navigation systems, guidance and control, and avionics systems design.

We have strong links with industry and a number of undergraduate projects have been generated from industrial projects undertaken by members of the Department. Examples include the development of infrared tracking algorithms for missile warning systems, antenna design for airborne communications and flight control systems for terrain avoidance in low-level flight.

Pilot Studies pathwayOur Avionics programmes give you the option to learn to fly and to build towards either a National Private Pilot’s Licence (NPPL) or a full Joint Aviation Authorities/Private Pilot Licence (JAA/PPL) in the first year and the ‘frozen’ Air Transport Pilot’s Licence (fATPL) in the second year. If you are seeking a career as a commercial airline pilot it is possible to work towards the fATPL. Our flight training partners are based at Liverpool John Lennon Airport and time for flight training is provided in your timetable. Also, a particularly exciting experimental facility on the University campus is the Bibby Flight Simulation Laboratory featuring motion and visual cueing and a library of different aircraft types that students can ‘try their hands on’. A new two-seat motion simulator is used as support to our Pilot Studies programmes.

An additional fee of approximately £3,400 is required to cover the costs of the mandatory 20 hours pilot training that is required for all students who choose the Pilot Studies pathway and work towards the NPPL, JAA/PPL and fATPL.

Programme in detailThe programme starts by giving you a basic grounding in all of the necessary technical subjects in Year One, with modules in electrical circuits and systems, digital electronics, mathematics and an introduction to aerospace engineering (which covers the principles of flight and terminology of aerospace engineering).

If you have chosen the option to learn to fly, Year One has a pilot studies module that supports the flying activities and the pilot ground school course for the private pilot’s licence (including meteorology, air navigation and air law), and time is factored into the Year One timetable to enable you to acquire the flying time required by the ‘with Pilot Studies’ programmes.

Continued over...


In Year Two, avionics is introduced through a dedicated module which covers everything from radar cross-sections of ‘stealth’ aircraft to airborne navigation using the Global Positioning System. Year Two also includes modules in instrumentation (covering the electrical devices that are used to monitor and control the flight of aircraft) and other relevant subjects.

In Year Three, there is an opportunity to specialise in a particular area of avionics with individual project work and optional modules in antenna and radar systems, control systems or navigation. Throughout the programme, there is a strong multidisciplinary flavour to the subjects being studied, with common elements shared by mainstream aerospace engineering students and electrical engineers. However, the Avionics programme offers a range of avionics modules that will provide you with greater in-depth technical knowledge than is offered by either of the mainstream subject areas.

On H432, students spend their third year of study on industrial placement.

Key modulesYear OneFor the optional ‘with Pilot Studies’ time is factored into the timetable to enable you to acquire the flying time. If you are not sure if you wish to take a BEng (Hons) or an MEng (Hons) degree then we advise that you apply for the MEng and make a final decision at the end of Year Two.

See “Modules at a glance” page 22.

Year TwoSee “Modules at a glance” page 26.

Year in Industry (H432 only)This is the placement year during which you will spend time working in an engineering company. This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical engineering experience which will boost your CV. The placement is assessed by two reports, a poster and an oral presentation.

Preparation for the placement is provided by the University’s Careers & Employability who will assist to finding a placement, help you prepare a professional looking CV and prepare you for your placement interview.

Final Year (Year Three for H430 and Year Four for H432)You will undertake an extended individual project in the area of avionics.


Avionic Systems MEng (Hons) UCAS code: H431Programme length: 4 years

This programme provides a deeper level of knowledge than the BEng degree in Avionic Systems, allowing for more specialisation and a faster route to a recognised professional qualification as a Chartered Engineer.

Modules explore the technical and industrial management aspects of a professional engineer’s role. An additional fee of approximately £3,400 is required to cover the costs of the mandatory 20 hours pilot training that is required for all students who choose the Pilot Studies pathway and work towards the NPPL, JAA/PPL and fATPL.

Programme in detailThe first two years of this programme are the same as the BEng programme. In the third year, there is some commonality, but there is more emphasis on longer term project work. This gives you more time to develop your interests and knowledge of the subject.

There is also a group project which interfaces with other disciplines within Aerospace Engineering to provide specialist avionics expertise on large scale airframe design. Examples from previous years have included the design of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and their associated control systems and sensor suites.

The fourth year offers you more depth in your speciality (eg radar systems or navigation systems and flight control) and further hands-on project work. This year also includes flight simulator work with flight handling qualities, advanced guidance systems and avionic systems design modules.

Computer Science and Electronic Engineering with Year in Industry BEng (Hons) UCAS code: HG6L Programme length: 4 years

Smart devices will shape the way we live now and in the future. The rapid pace of technological change and the diversity of modern applications require a broad educational background and a lifelong commitment to learning new and specialised skills.

This programme combines the core elements of Electronic Engineering with those of Computer Science, the intellectual discipline underlying all aspects of software development.

Teaching is divided between the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics and the Department of Computer Science. Combining elements from these two disciplines will equip you with both an added breadth of knowledge, and greater specialisation. Our graduates are in demand because of their fluency both in the language of electronic engineers as well as that of computer scientists, enabling you to bridge the gap between software systems and the real world.

Programme in detailDuring Year One you will be introduced to the fundamentals of electronics as well as the underlying principles and theory of computing. Your lecture modules will cover the core subjects of electronic circuits, digital electronics, Java programming and data structures.

In addition you will take modules such as mathematics and spend one day a week doing practical work in both the computer and electronics laboratories. This will give you excellent practical and transferable skills vital for subsequent years of the programme and invaluable in your future career.

The second year builds on the first with core modules in Software engineering, Database development, Digital electronics and Signals and communication systems. More time is spent in the electronics laboratory doing practical work to consolidate the knowledge learnt in lectures and partaking in an extended team project.

In your third year you will have the option of selecting advanced modules from either department according to your chosen area of specialisation. Electronics options include Verilog digital system design, Digital control, Data communications and Optical information systems. Typical computer science options are Biocomputation, Image processing, Computer vision and graphics, Advanced web technologies and e-Commerce technologies.

Also in the final year, you will undertake a 20-week individual project. Recent projects have included ‘real-time GPS tracking of a vehicle fleet by mobile phones’, and a ‘mobile multi-user dungeon (MUD) game using SMS messaging’.
