From the digital revolution to the social media boom, Computer Science has transformed the way we communicate and has applications reaching across society to help shape a better world.

We recognise that Computer Science is more than programming. You’ll become skilled in the specification, design and implementation of computer systems, as well as gaining an understanding of the theory behind them.

Our nurturing department will support you throughout your degree, including helping you to undertake valuable work experience and guiding you in your journey to fulfil your career ambitions.

Computer science is unpredictable and exciting and it’s never going to leave me bored.

I’m doing things I never thought possible for a first year undergraduate, including working for a university start-up company in software development, gaining a huge amount of experience on real life projects.
