Software and Electronic Systems Engineering is a dynamic and collaborative degree programme; combining academic thought with practical application. Software and Electronic Systems Engineers make the impossible possible. They challenge conventional processes and look beyond what exists towards what comes next.

From everyday systems, like games consoles and mobile phones to advanced systems for surveillance and medical devices, the modern world is made possible by the devices you will be taught to understand and develop during the Software and Electronic Systems Engineering undergraduate programme.

Additionally, Software and Electronic Systems Engineering is one of the few research-led degrees in Queen’s which includes the design of both electronic hardware and software. As an SESE graduate you can not only design the physical hardware of a mobile phone but also write the software to run it.

Through our diverse network of industry links you begin learning from prospective employers from day one. Industry placements, company sponsored hackathons and project challenges are a core part of the curriculum and vastly improve our graduate employability rates.

Highly skilled graduates with experience of both software and electronics are highly sought-after locally, nationally and internationally. There are excellent, well-paid career prospects across a wide spectrum: design, research, development, production, marketing and sales in employment areas such as avionics and space, telecommunications and broadcasting, connected health and medical electronics, consumer electronics and gaming, computing and software, embedded systems, smart networks and electronic security.
