While specialising in the engineering discipline areas of electronic systems, computer systems and communication systems, this double degree broadens the overall knowledge of students in areas which are complementary to their engineering skills.
There is a growing demand in high technology industries and research centres, especially in the areas of robotics, data science, cyber security and telecommunications, for engineers with knowledge and professional skills in project management, software development and relevant areas of engineering.
