As the backbone of the IoT, embedded systems are intelligent electronic devices, often internet connected systems on a chip, that may feature a variety of sensors. The data collected by embedded systems may be analyzed in a variety of ways to improve existing processes or tackle new problems.

Applications of this rapidly expanding technological field may include personal use in health management systems, use in manufacturing processes such as robotics, contributing to the management of urban infrastructure in smart cities, and collection and processing of data used by self-driving cars.

As a highly engineering based field, students with an interest in mathematics, electronic engineering and computer science may find it a compelling subject to study.

By studying in this field, your modules are likely to cover topics such as:

• Artificial intelligence
• Robotics
• Electronic Engineering
• The Internet of Things (IoT)
• Digital signal processing
• Wearable electronics
• Smart cities

As a university graduate of studies in Intelligent embedded systems, you may work in a variety of technological sectors such as the automotive industry, healthcare and defense with careers such as:

• Programmer
• System architect
• Robotics engineer
• Mobile communication engineer

Undergraduate programmes in Intelligent Embedded Systems are commonly available at universities around the world as:

• Bachelors of Science (BSc degree), which typically take between 3-4 years to complete when studied Full-time, and may include a year on placement
• Bachelor of Engineering (BEng degree) which typically take 3 years to complete when studied Full-time
• Foundation degree (FdSc), which typically take 2 years to complete when studied Full-time

Entry requirements for undergraduate degrees in Intelligent Embedded Systems will usually include academic achievement at the level required by your chosen university in related subject areas such as Sciences and Mathematics. If applicable, you may also need to provide evidence of your English language proficiency in either TOEFL, IELTS tests.
