    Hai, I'm trying to get into this course, have a level 7 in electronic engineering. Is it hard to get in? and more importantly is this course any good?

    I did this course the year before last. Definitely not hard to get into, they are usually crying out for applicants. There was only 4 in the course the year I did it. There is alot of work involved. Where did you do your electronics course?

    PIC programming, VHDL, control, that sort of thing. If they are crying out I wonder would they give me a spot this year. Been trying to contact them with not much luck

    I'd say its hard to contact them because they would be closed for the summer now.
    Most of the course/projects are based on PSoC which is C. There was no PIC programming in the course just PSoC and FPGA. The toughest module would be the maths.

    Ah yea I done a bit of C alright. What sort of maths would they be doing? Laplace, fourier, along that line?

    I cannot really remember what was on the first semester syllabus but it included finite state machines, graph theory and predicate calculus. The second semester was probability, sampling theory and hypothesis testing, six sigma and lean enterprises, reliability theory, markov chains and poisson process and queuing theory. The maths module is taught along with mechanical engineering so alot of the maths is general engineering stuff. There was no fourier or laplace, I think that was covered in the Ordinary degree.
