Through world-class teaching, this MEng develops the engineering expertise for creating cutting-edge software systems, along with the skills and intellectual rigour required for innovation and research. A strong focus on solving real-world problems is combined with building a deep understanding of computer science theory.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

The structure of years one and two of this four-year programme is based around a set of core modules, the aim of which is to cover the essential material required of all computer scientists, whatever their particular interest or specialisation. These modules address all the main strands of computer science: architecture, programming, theory, design, and mathematics.

In the third year, you take a further four core advanced level modules, two of which are focused on computer science research, where you work with one of the department’s research groups. You also have two advanced level options from a range of subject areas.
Alternatively, the International Programme route of the MEng enables you to take your third year at a partner university outside the UK, including universities in Europe, North America, Japan and Australia. You are invited to apply to study abroad whilst in your second year.

The final year is at Master’s level, where you take six options from the range of modules offered to the specialised MSc programmes run by the department. You also undertake an individual supervised project, allowing you to work in depth on a challenging problem, providing another opportunity to engage with the research activities in the department.

In your second and third year you will undertake an Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) minor, alongside your core/optional Computer Science modules. The IEP minor comprises of one module in the second year and two modules in the third year. There are a number of minor subjects offered by UCL Engineering departments including: Entrepreneurship, Nanotechnology, Biomechanics, Management and Connected Systems. Alternatively, you can take the Intelligent Systems minor taught by Computer Science or you can learn a modern foreign language to an advanced level.

Upon successful completion of 480 credits, you will be awarded a MEng (Hons) in Computer Science.
