Overview
We believe that problem-solving lies at the heart of computer science. We aim to make this one of the most exciting and forward-thinking courses you can study.
Computer science in our opinion underpins almost all the science and technology that we rely on in the modern world. It is responsible for some of the most powerful problem-solving strategies known to mankind – the Internet, smart devices, artificial intelligence, robots and much, much more.
If you are interested in how computers work and are designed, this course, upon successful completion, should enable you to progress from your undergraduate degree to a master’s level qualification.
We aim to explore practical applications in industry, commerce, research and everyday life, and a combination of theory and practice in traditional areas of computer science, including programming and algorithms, computer architecture, networking, system design and implementation. You should also explore some of the new and exciting areas of development in this ever-changing field such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science techniques, mobile app development and cryptography in software security.
Career opportunities
The practical nature of the course aims to place an emphasis on your future employability, with an aim to developing a wide range of technical, analytical, design and professional skills, many of which are may be gained from activity-led learning projects and placement experiences. The technical content is usually regularly reviewed and updated to reflect what is currently important and in demand in industry.
Your final year project will give you an opportunity to familiarise yourself with working professionally in industry in a chosen specialist field. This should allow you to build up a portfolio of evidence which can be presented at future job interviews to help demonstrate the expected expertise.
Our faculty’s employability and placements unit EEC Futures, which won the ‘Best Placement Service in the UK’ award at the National Undergraduate Employability Awards in 2015 and 2016, will support you in applying to work experience while you study and employment on graduation.
