Course overview
Computer Science is a broad area which includes designing and building hardware and software systems for a wide range of purposes and processing, structuring and managing various kinds of information.
Covering all aspects of computer science, including the underlying principles and theory, this programme will ensure that when you graduate you will know what is and isn’t possible with computers and be able to find solutions to the problems you will encounter in your professional life.
The programme covers a range of compulsory modules including: Database Development, Software Engineering, Complexity of Algorithms, a second year group software project and a final year individual project.
You then choose from a selection of modules representing the cutting-edge of computer science today. These cover topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cyber Security, Robotics, Computer Networks, and High-Performance Computing, amongst others.
You can choose to maintain a mixture of modules throughout your Computer Science degree or follow a specialist pathway in Artificial Intelligence, Algorithms and Optimisation, Data Science, or Cyber Security.
In today’s digital world, cybersecurity has never been more crucial. Ranging from the fundamentals of cryptography to mastering network security, this pathway equips students with the skills needed to tackle real-world challenges in protecting sensitive information and systems from cyber threats. Topics covered in this specialism may include Cyber Security, Computer Forensics, Computer Networks and Network Security, Formal Methods, and Robot Perception and Manipulation.
