About the School of Engineering and Information Sciences
The School of Engineering and Information Sciences (SEIS) is one of the largest in the UK, having trebled in size since 1994, with more than 1000 students from a rich diversity of backgrounds, ages and countries. Teaching is located at Hendon campus and Trent Park campus in North London and within 30 minutes by Underground to Central London.
We offer a range of high quality undergraduate and postgraduate courses across our four academic departments: Business Information Systems,Computer Communications, Computing and Multimedia Technology and Product Design and Engineering.
Our teaching staff have professional expertise in their subject areas and there is a thriving culture of research – which means study courses stay innovative. Our research teams are working on projects with leading companies and universities in the UK and overseas such as use of computer technology to find genes causing malformations. Both within and outside the research centres are a large number of informal and self-organising research groups, which make it possible for staff and students with shared interests to exchange ideas, information and enthusiasms. Research in the School is conducted in many areas but in particular in networks, graphics, databases, systems analysis and human computer interaction, with a large number of doctoral and post doctoral researchers.
We have strong working relationships with all areas of the University, since computing underpins many academic disciplines, and we have been successful in collaborating with other institutions within the UK and abroad.
Computer equipment is extensive, ranging from specialist equipment, to workstations, PCs and Macs. All machines are connected to the network and have Internet access. Each campus has a library providing areas for private and group study.
You are encouraged to take responsibility for your own learning and to develop an ability to argue critique and to think independently. Group projects help to provide invaluable experience for the workplace. After graduation you can pursue computer related careers in the business, industry and financial sectors with many joining software houses or IT departments in large organisations.
We also offer professional solutions to local, regional and international businesses, government bodies and other academic institutions. Including CPD and training in Cisco and Project Management.
