The BSc (Hons) Computer Science degree provides you with the opportunity to develop the experience, skills and knowledge to design and develop a variety of software and hardware computing solutions for real-world problems. Particular attention is paid to cutting-edge topics, such as artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction, in addition to core computer science disciplines. This aims to ensure that your studies are at the forefront of research in the field. This degree aims to provide a broad foundation in computer science and provides you with the chance to develop the mathematical, analytical and problem-solving skills required to succeed in the challenging and exciting modern computing industry. With digital technologies driving advances in all aspects of the modern world, from business to healthcare to education, those with expertise in computer science are finding employment in a wide range of sectors. In your first year, you have the opportunity to study the fundamental areas of computing science. This includes operating systems, and maths for computing and software development. The second year aims to build on this foundation, covering artificial intelligence and database and network systems. At this stage, you will have the chance to specialise in topics such as image processing, robotics and parallel computing. You will also have the opportunity to work on an extended group project. In the third year, you can choose an optional area of study that is of specific interest to you, such as mobile computing or business intelligence, while completing a substantial individual project.
