Our BEng or MEng Computer and Internet Engineering degrees ensure graduates are well-equipped to contribute to the rapidly evolving field of information technology, working on cutting-edge projects that shape the future of the internet and connected systems.

• Surrey is one of the UK’s leading universities for computer engineering.
• Created with input from industry, our BEng and MEng computer engineering courses are developing the next generation of engineers. Our award-winning Professional Training placements also prepare students for roles in various technology-based sectors.

Our computing engineering courses are boosted by our leading research centres. These are:

• Institute for Communication Systems, which specialises in next generation mobile communications
• Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing, which specialises in audio-visual processing and engineering for health.
• Our aim is to develop engineers with a solid grounding in electronics and the specialist skills needed to work at the forefront of mobile and internet technology.

Throughout your studies, you’ll complete integrated training in communications (both hardware and software), media and content delivery, and security and machine learning.

After a year covering important concepts in programming and electronics, you’ll study advanced modules in topics such as mobile communications, digital signal processing and artificial intelligence.
