Computer Science, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

Computer science encompasses problem-solving, creativity, and exploration of exciting fields like user experience design, virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and machine learning through a range of optional modules. In the second year, students engage in a collaborative group project, often with industry partners such as Capital One and IBM, to develop future computer systems, enhancing CV credentials. The program includes a paid industry placement in the third year, applying theoretical knowledge to real-world projects and potentially securing job offers prior to graduation.Inspired teaching from tutors featured in the Computerphile series at Nottingham supports this flexible degree, which requires no prior programming experience. Key advantages include the ability to transfer degrees in the first year, opportunities for international study, and strong graduate outcomes, with an average salary of £32,104 and accreditation from the British Computer Society. The curriculum covers foundational topics in programming languages like C, Java, and Haskell, alongside algorithms and databases, with advanced options in machine learning and robotics in the final year.
