Computing Science/French - MA (Hons)

University of Glasgow

Computing science is wide-ranging: from programming and engineering large software systems, to the design and evaluation of human–computer interfaces, algorithms, computer and network systems, artificial intelligence, information retrieval and big data systems. French involves the study of a key European and international language as well as the cultures it has influenced across the world.

The School of Computing Science launched the pioneering Centre for Computing Science Education, in recognition of our commitment to leadership and innovation in educational practice. As part of your French degree you can choose to focus on a whole range of topics including French comics, French song, travel writing, medieval France and contemporary French history.

Recent graduates are employed as software engineers and systems analysts with companies such as Google, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Skyscanner and Yahoo. Graduates have gone on to pursue rewarding careers in the media, teaching (both at home and abroad), journalism, tourism, translating and interpreting, and the Civil Service, as well as business, commerce and marketing.
