Details

The BSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UCT integrates classical electrical engineering with computer science to produce graduates who can design specialised computing systems, signal processing algorithms, and intelligent electronic control platforms. This interdisciplinary approach is particularly valuable in South Africa's growing technology and fourth industrial revolution sectors, where hardware and software boundaries are blurring rapidly. Students develop strong foundations in digital design, communications, scientific computing, and electronic systems, giving them the versatility to work across a uniquely broad range of engineering disciplines. The degree is accredited by ECSA and recognised internationally under the Washington Accord.
