What you will study

Your first year gives you a solid foundation in computer science. It includes an introduction to procedural and object-oriented programming, system architectures and professional issues of computing. Mathematics modules develop the skills you'll need for later modules in computer science and artificial intelligence. The second year includes exposure to rigorous software development and software engineering best practice, together with information systems. You'll choose from research-led modules in computer science and mathematics, and can also select modules from another discipline at the University.

Career pathways

The broad-based skills acquired during your degree will give you an excellent grounding for a wide variety of careers, not only those related to Computer Science but also in wider fields. Examples of roles recent graduates are now working as include: As part of the three-year degree, you can choose to take an optional Commercial and Industrial Experience module during the vacation before the third year (subject to availability).
