The University of Liverpool is a public university based in the city of Liverpool, England. It was established in 1881

Computer Science and Electronic Engineering BEng (Hons)

UCAS code: HH66

Programme length: 3 years

This programme combines the core elements of Electronic Engineering with those of Computer Science, the intellectual discipline underlying all aspects of software development.

Teaching is divided almost equally between the Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics and the Department of Computer Science.
