We are the leading department of its kind in the country, and were one of the first universities to be named an Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Education.
In Electronics and Computer Science (ECS), we have created an environment that has inspired an extraordinary level of achievement. We seek to develop new research activities and educational programmes to continue our contributions to science and engineering in a world facing significant challenges.
Our research explores the interface between electronics and computer science, and benefits significantly from interdisciplinary links with other schools, institutes and faculties.
Our school
Our history dates from 1947, when Professor Eric Zepler founded the Department of Electronics, Telecommunications and Radio Engineering.
