Introduction
This course is new for entry year 2021.
New immersive realities, data-rich and informed interactions, automations, and ever-more connected clouds are shaping the way the world operates and people interact with each other. Underpinning these advances, and pivotal to the future economy, is computer science. Computer scientists explore the theory and methods of computation to engineer novel computer technologies, solve problems, and devise better ways of doing things.
Choose between a three-year degree or a four-year degree with a year of professional practice. While you must select one for your UCAS application, you’ll have the chance to change your decision up to the end of your second year.
You will:
- Get practical hands-on experience, doing a lot of computer programming and software engineering to build your own software
- Work on complex real-world problems set in partnership with industry and explore a range of market-led incubation opportunities identified by our RealWORKS employability team
- Advance your knowledge of computer science and computing technologies in a way that enables you to incorporate cutting-edge advances into the digital products and services you create
- Leverage user-centred design thinking in your system development lifecycles, taking advantage of our research strengths in this area
- Collaborate in multidisciplinary agile teams that span the Games Academy and the School of Entrepreneurship to realise projects with real commercial potential using approaches that mirror industry
