MEng Electronic and Digital Systems in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Strathclyde

Why choose this course

Electronic systems play a vital role in nearly every facet of modern life. Remarkable technological breakthroughs in design and engineering have enabled increasingly sophisticated capabilities to be packed into ever more compact devices.

Consider your smartphone - a pocket-sized computer that handles calls, captures and shares photos, delivers high-speed internet access anywhere, and stores thousands of music albums. Many now include advanced security features like fingerprint scanners and voice recognition. But smartphones offer far greater potential. For instance:
