Description
The focus of this degree is on the theoretical and technical foundations of computing. The course encourages a general and abstract understanding of the underlying principles of computing with an emphasis on programming, data structures, algorithms, networks and operating systems.
You will study a curriculum designed in conjunction with industry to equip you with the range of skills and strengths that employers demand. You will cover the fundamental areas of computing such as programming, web development, computer architecture, information systems and databases, as well as more specialised areas such as artificial intelligence, computer mathematics and software engineering.
In your final year, you will study cutting-edge topics with guidance from research leaders and undertake a large-scale project.
Our BSc (Hons) Computer Science, BSc (Hons) Software Engineering and BSc (Hons) Computing degrees share a common first year allowing you to transfer between courses after Year 1.
Students will also have the option, within the first year of study, to apply for the route to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) as part of the degree. This offers the chance to work in local schools and qualify as a teacher. More information on bursaries and scholarships available can be found on the Department for Education website.
