Computer systems are now vital to business, government, science and society, and there is pressing need for graduates with the professional understanding, practical skills, and theoretical foundations to harness software and hardware technologies to solve real-world problems and develop the systems of the future.
From the start of your journey with us, you will gain a robust grounding in computational problem-solving skills, programming and fundamental mathematics, to equip you with the skills required for further study.
Building on these foundational topics, you will explore current and emerging areas in the field, including data science, artificial intelligence and software engineering. You can also explore new topics or deep dive into areas you are passionate about by studying optional modules. Throughout the programme, youll engage with real-world scenarios to enhance your learning.
From year two you can choose to spend time in industry with full time or modular placement opportunities. You can also develop invaluable professional and employability skills and even pursue a personal interest in computer science by proposing a project that showcases your knowledge and skills.
You will benefit from a variety of teaching and learning activities informed by and involving our partners from industry. This includes a series of guest lectures from organisations such as Microsoft, the BBC, and CapGemini, as well as grouped and individual projects involving real-world data from industry.
In your final year you will unleash your creativity and undertake a substantial piece of research, applying theoretical knowledge and problem-solving skills to a technical, software, research or business problem. Your project is an excellent opportunity for you to draw together skills in experimental study design, critical interpretation of data, presentation and project management.
You will also have the broadest choice in personalising your studies with our wide variety of optional modules.
