BSc (Hons) Computer Science

Study fundamental computer science theory and learn practical skills for solving real world problems. Our broad and principled approach to computer science will give you a thorough grounding in theory as well as practical skills, helping you to solve real-world problems. You will study systems at different levels of abstraction, including digital hardware architectures, low level programming, operating systems, intelligent systems, compilers and high level languages. You’ll learn to design user-centred systems, recognise the power of data, and build intelligent systems that learn from data. Our courses are designed with our Industrial Advisory Board, so you’ll be well placed to adapt to the workplace. This course is also available as a four-year integrated masters (MEng). Both the BSc and MEng variants of this course are also offered with an additional year in industry.
