In your final year, you'll be able to specialise and get the chance to work alongside our research staff as part of a group research project. You'll also have the option to participate in Genesys Solutions – our student-led software development organisation – throughout your final year, solving customer’s problems, using agile software engineering and lean startup practice. Professional, communication and presentation skills help to create more employable computer scientists and software engineers. These are extremely valuable to companies, making you a well-rounded and highly prized candidate. It's possible to transfer between our courses. This provides an opportunity to understand which areas of computer science spark your interest and add flexibility to your education. Our dedicated student welfare advisor is available to provide support, for example, if you are feeling down, overwhelmed or struggling to adjust to student life. If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, you can start your main degree.
