About this programme

Designed in consultation with industry, our professionally accredited Computer Science degree will equip you with the technical, problem-solving, and soft skills that the fast-moving digital economy demands. Broadening options will allow you to hone your knowledge in specialist areas such as Robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT) to become highly employable across different sectors of the digital economy. As such, you can graduate with a named award in: You’ll learn solid theoretical foundations and key concepts in computational thinking, computer architectures and their operating systems, machine learning, embedded systems and more. But Computer Science is a very practical field, and this course offers plenty of opportunities to gain hands-on project experience. You’ll be working in industry standard labs, engaging in practical exercises ranging from computer programming and software development to working with IoT devices and building and programming robotics units. With extra opportunities to join our research centres and labs as an undergraduate intern, you’ll be able to gain experience of industry standards and best practices while working on cutting-edge technologies. Furthermore, industry experience can be obtained as part of your study by completing an optional sandwich year placement. Our students have been successful in obtaining placements in nationally competitive schemes which include Microsoft, HP, General Electric and the Met Office.
