About this course
Organisations employed approximately 1.98 million tech workers in 2021, where the tech industry accounts for 5.5% of the U.K. economy, or £82.6 billion (CompTIA’s “State of the Tech Workforce U.K”, 2022).
The overall aim of this course is to provide a broadly based education in computing science that will enable graduates to become equipped with the skills to problem solve and be employed in a software development team in the software industry or a commercial IT department.
The course will focus on blending theory with the solving of practical problems, promoting innovation and creativity, and ensuring intellectual challenge, all with consideration of the legal, social, ethical, and professional issues. The research landscape within computing in recent years has seen topics such as security and the role of artificial intelligence in society come to the forefront, both of which feature as modules on this programme. Graduates who take this course will develop vital skills and be well-positioned to leverage the sustained demand for talent in the UK tech sector and internationally.
