Technology is transforming our lives. Combine computing skills and engineering expertise to build the future. Technology is continuing to evolve and rapid developments are changing life as we know it. Learn to design the innovative systems behind these developments while examining how they collect and process information. You could study just computer science or electronic engineering, but by studying a programme that is a 50/50 split, you’ll be able to choose from a wider range of career opportunities. Our expert teaching team cover the foundations of computer software and hardware, with modules in everything from programming and circuit design to operating systems and signals. In our Electronics Lab and Informatics Teaching Lab, you’ll get practical experience with digital circuit design, embedded systems and various software development tools. These form the foundation of computer systems, the internet and the applications that run on it. You’ll also learn about intelligent systems, which have a range of applications, from vehicles to smart cities. ### Uncover your interests You’ll have the chance to complete two practical projects. In your second year, you’ll team up with other students on an engineering project, which will be software-based. Then in your final year, you’ll work on a hardware or software-based project focused on your interests. We were recently ranked 8th for Computer Science and Information Systems in the UK by QS World Rankings by Subject (2026) as well as 10th in the world and 1st in the UK for Electrical and Electronic Engineering - [US News World University Ranking 2025.](https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/electrical-electronic-engineering) Not only will you graduate with a range of sought-after skills, but you’ll also have built a strong personal brand, thanks to our MySkills initiative within the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. Get ready to impress employers and secure a role where you can put your knowledge into action.
A Level: ABB | Including Mathematics Excluded subjects - General Studies Please note: You will also be expected to achieve a Pass grade in the practical endorsement for any of the following A levels - Biology, Chemistry, Physics - if taken with one of the Awarding Bodies in England. | GCSE/National 4/National 5 Both GCSE English and Maths at grade C or 4 or an acceptable equivalent will be required. | International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme: 32 UCAS points | 6,5,5 in HL subjects, to include HL Mathematics | Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016) | Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
