Computer Science - BSc (Hons)

This Computer Science degree explores a range of subjects including artificial intelligence, cloud computing and wearable computing so that you graduate ready for a career in industry. We’re home to Cisco Systems, a Microsoft Academy Centre and Amazon Web Services Academy (AWS), which means that you’ll have access to completing additional qualifications in addition to your degree to prepare you for a successful career in the industry. You will study the fundamental concepts of computer science, including computer programming, data structures and algorithms, information systems, computer networks and computer architecture.
You will consolidate your learning by studying advanced subjects that emphasise software engineering skills. You will also be introduced to topics such as operating systems, cyber security, discrete mathematics, and web application development.
Broaden your understanding of computer science by studying specialised subjects like artificial intelligence, cloud computing and wearable computing. In addition, you’ll complete an individual project in order to demonstrate your technical skills and general employability in preparation for your future career. The individual project simulates typical workplace tasks that require in-depth knowledge and skills in a specific area of computer science. You’ll consider wider issues and develop the ability to manage activities and resources, and to generate, implement and report on solutions to meet task objectives.
Throughout your studies, you’ll be supported by our expert teaching staff, all of whom have a wide range of research and industrial experience in areas such as computer security and software engineering, which they use to enhance the curriculum.
