Of all the excellent computing degree options available at the University of Bolton, this is the most flexible. It draws on key elements from other study pathways to give you a wide-ranging and industry-informed programme. By studying for your BSc (Hons) Computing honours degree with us, you can develop essential knowledge and understanding of computing and IT principles and practices while experiencing life at our supportive, student-focused, multicultural campus.As you progress through the degree, you'll have the opportunity to focus on aspects of the subject you have personal interest and strengths in, or that support your career or further study goals. For instance, you might opt to study machine learning, artificial intelligence or cyber security. With intentionally small class sizes, we can offer you more meaningful and personalised interaction with our dedicated and enthusiastic lecturers, many of whom are active researchers and come with extensive industry insights and experience. Meanwhile, guest speakers and lecturers give you access to highly relevant and up-to-date input from industry settings.The department's strong links with business mean you'll have the chance to work on 'live briefs' in your coursework assignments, so you'll have the opportunity to enjoy real-world context and application for the skills and knowledge we'll help you develop. We'll also support you in building lifelong learning skills so you can take ownership of your professional development for the future and maximise your potential for success.
