COURSE CURRICULUM

The Electronics and Computer Engineering BEng (Hons) degree at the University of Northampton offers a structured progression of learning that combines programming, electronics, engineering principles, and advanced applications. In Year 1, students develop a strong foundation through modules such as Problem Solving and Programming, Computer Systems, and Mathematics for Engineers, alongside practical studies in Electrical and Electronic Principles and Electronic Engineering Practice. Year 2 builds on this knowledge with more specialised areas, including Microprocessors and the Internet of Things (IoT), Mobile Application Development, and an introduction to Artificial Intelligence. Core modules in Analogue and Digital Electronics, Advanced Mathematics, and Electronics Instrumentation and Control Systems strengthen both theoretical understanding and practical application. In the final year, students advance their expertise in cutting-edge fields with modules such as Advanced AI and Applications, Mobile Computing, Advanced Electro-Mechanical System Design, and Advanced Digital Electronics. The program culminates in a substantial Engineering Project, allowing students to integrate their skills and apply them to a real-world challenge. This comprehensive curriculum ensures graduates are well prepared with the technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and industry-ready experience required to succeed in diverse roles within electronics, computer engineering, AI, robotics, and smart technology sectors.
