Computer science underpins almost all the science and technology that people 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.

This course aims 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. Students should also explore some of the new and exciting areas of development in this ever-changing field such as machine learning, data science techniques, mobile app development and cryptography in software security. On top of these, the 3rd year will have a specific focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI), enabling students to achieve the technical and transferable skills in this ever growing area.

The course is designed to produce graduates with the technical and transferable skills needed in a wide range of careers and industries; whether these are established computer science domains such as software development and database maintenance, or emerging ones influenced by the growing use of AI.
