Engineering Diplomas:

(40 credits)

This online computer engineering course has a total of 120 credits meaning that it is benchmarked to be equivalent to a full year of undergraduate study. Moreover, being a Level 4 computer engineering course means that it is benchmarked to the first year of a university degree course in computer engineering.
Most students are eligible to enrol directly on to this course because we teach you all the mathematics and computer science that you need to be successful with the rest of the course.

Higher International Diploma in Computer Engineering (EduQual Level 5) [240 credits]
This higher online computer engineering course develops your knowledge in computer engineering at a deeper and more specialist level and once completed you will become eligible to apply to universities to top-up your qualification to degree level.
Students working on a part time basis can typically complete these courses in a time frame of between 1 and 3 years. However, you are in control of your own learning, and it is in principle possible to finish the course much sooner than this.
Most students are eligible to enrol directly on to this course because we teach you all the maths and computer science that you need to be successful with the rest of the course.

Engineering Diplomas [40 credit]
We also offer a range of shorter online computer engineering and computer science courses. These qualifications are ideal for learners that wish to study a specific topic of interest to them all who wish to complete the course in a shorter time frame then our full 120 credits courses above. These 40 credit qualifications can typically be completed in a time frame of between two and six months.

Computer Engineering

What Is Computing Engineering?

Computer engineering is an increasingly important branch of engineering, focusing on the growing digital and integrated world in which we all now live.

Computer engineering combines the theoretical aspects of electrical engineering and computer science with the practical application of design and construction in order to design, develop and build the digital systems we see all around us.

Computer engineers evaluate, design, and maintain computer hardware and software systems. They are responsible for the development of modern computing systems and computer-controlled equipment. That could be anything from a numerical controlled robot in a manufacturing plant, a management system for a field of wind turbines, or the flight control systems on the latest rocket launch!

Fundamentally, computer engineering is the study of electrical engineering combined with software and hardware development, however the role of a computer engineer is much more. A computer engineer needs to take ideas, needs, or real-world problems to develop highly specialized and specific solutions often on the cutting edge of known technology.

Computer engineers work in almost all industries, from automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, telecommunications, power production, defense, and electronics industries. The scope of the computer engineer is truly diverse.

So whether it be increasing production output of a robot in car production, developing an environmental control in a new skyscraper, or setting up a communication network during a natural disaster; the computer engineer is vital in the project’s success.

In our courses you will learn the fundamentals of programming and the language used in computer systems, the principles of electrical and electronic engineering, as well as practical applications of robots and control. You will have a range of optional topics to study, such as IoT, cloud computing, or cyber security.

In addition you will cover the fundamental maths and computer science that underpin engineering as a whole.

Our level 5 units will progress onto subjects such as machine learning, Artificial Intelligence and digital circuitry.
