The School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science is one of the largest schools in Queen's with over 600 students. It has an international reputation due to its far reaching research activities and many successes at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
Headed by Professor John McCanny, in 2003 the School set up a new £40m world-class centre for research, the Institute for Electronics, Communications and Information Technologies (ECIT). Based in the Northern Ireland Science Park in Belfast’s Titanic Quarter, this now houses four of the new School's nine research clusters.
