Applied Computer Science

Using a combination of work-based learning and lectures, we’ll help you develop a thorough understanding of computing theory, principles and technologies, along with practical training in how to apply them to many different fields and needs. In year one you’ll cover the fundamentals of design, programming, computing systems and operating systems, before progressing to more specialist areas in year two - such as software engineering, networking, database design and user experience. Your final year will take you deeper still – and there’ll be a research-based major project to propose and complete in a computer science topic of your choice.
