Computer Science

The computer science industry is a challenging place but it’s an exciting one too.

Successful managers in the industry need graduates with the right balance of knowledge and experiences. That’s why you’ll start with the fundamentals of computer science, develop your programming skills in the areas of AI and Cloud computing, and then take your studies to the next level with Masters level modules to give you a deeper understanding and the edge in the workplace.

We encourage students to take the optional work placement year at the end of Year Two, which gives you the chance to gain vital experience and put your knowledge into practice.
This course combines undergraduate and postgraduate content and is designed to cover computer science foundation subjects and then build on this foundation with postgraduate level material in the final year. You will acquire the skills to become an independent learner and gain advanced skills in specialised areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, advanced analysis and design, embedded systems and programming.

A group project to manage and deliver a significant multidisciplinary engineering project will help you to further develop your communication, project management and teamworking skills. In addition you will undertake a substantive individual project where you will be required to develop software or hardware in an innovative manner.
