Presentación

Computer science is a wide field, from its theoretical and algorithmic foundations, to cutting-edge development in computer graphics and intelligent systems.

Computer scientists find effective ways to solve computing problems. They may take on challenging programming jobs or create new ways to use computers. Now, computer science researchers are working with scientists from other fields for everything from analysing economic trends to deciphering the secrets of our DNA.

This degree will enable you to create industrial-strength software applications, using the latest commercial practices. It’s also accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS) and gives full exemption from their examination requirements.

The above information is a sample module description for illustrative purposes. Modules and module content may change from time to time.

Learning and teaching methods
You will have around 16 hours of teaching in lectures, tutorials and practical sessions every week. You also need to spend four hours per week, per module on your coursework, general reading and other preparation. As part of your studies, we strongly recommend you spend up to a year working in industry in the UK or abroad. This means you can gain new skills and boost your career prospects, and often leads to job opportunities with your placement employer.

Salidas profesionales

Computers are fundamental to many different industries, so you can apply your skills to many fields. Computer programmers and engineers mainly work for large computer companies. Microsoft, IBM, Intel and Hewlett-Packard all rely on an army of computer scientists to produce and maintain their technology. Even within these companies, you can work in a broad variety of areas and in a number of jobs. Product development entails designing, building and testing the latest products, so skills in software programming and design are vital.
