Computer Science (with Placement Year)

We believe that problem-solving lies at the heart of computer science. We aim to make this one of the most exciting and forward-thinking courses you can study.

Computer science in our opinion underpins almost all the science and technology that we rely on in the modern world. It is responsible for some of the most powerful problem-solving strategies known to mankind – the Internet, smart devices, artificial intelligence, robots and much, much more.

If you are interested in how computers work and are designed, this course, upon successful completion, should enable you to progress from your undergraduate degree to a master’s level qualification.

We aim to explore practical applications in industry, commerce, research and everyday life, and a combination of theory and practice in traditional areas of computer science, including programming and algorithms, computer architecture, networking, system design and implementation. You should also explore some of the new and exciting areas of development in this ever-changing field such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science techniques, mobile app development and cryptography in software security.
