Integrated Circuits – Concepts and Design
Image Processing
Neural Networks
Organic Electronics
Digital Control and Optimisation

In addition three Computer Science modules are chosen from the following:

Biocomputation
Software Engineering
Multi-Agent Systems
Formal Methods
Semantics of Programming Languages
Software Development Tools
Introduction to Computational Game Theory

Plus, up to two modules can be chosen from the list of subsidiary subjects.

Programme Year Four

During this year, students continue compulsory modules, choose further options and undertake an extended group project. The project would normally require both hardware and software components. The compulsory modules are Management of Design and Management of Product
Development.

The Electronics options are chosen from:

Information Theory and Coding
Advanced System Modelling and Control
Photonics and Optical Information Systems
Computation Intelligence
Advanced Guidance Systems
Advanced Algorithmic Techniques
Communication Networks and Security
Knowledge Representation

or from (if not already taken):

Embedded Computer Systems
