BSc (Hons) Computing Science

You'll learn how to design and develop all types of software to make computers do new things or manage tasks more efficiently.This could include applications for mobile devices, developing websites, or programming software. This degree teaches you how to use technology to find solutions.Some examples of student projects include:tumour predictions based on MRI scansfood app diary for people with learning difficultiesplatforms to investigate interactions with security systemsYou will gain an understanding of the theoretical, scientific, and mathematical components of computing. This includes: algorithms for data processing and analysisfundamental theory of information and computationsoftware engineering principles and practicesinteractive entertainment and video games programmingmathematics that underpins computational systemsIt will challenge you to understand the technical background of algorithm and software analysis. You'll need an understanding of mathematical concepts and a logical mind.As well as exploring how users interact with technology during your studies, you'll also have an opportunity to work with real users. At our dedicated User Centre, you will meet with people with varying computing capabilities. This can help you to understand how to build technology which meets people's diverse needs in fun and creative ways.You'll also learn about software development, physical computing, and data management. You'll gain a thorough understanding of a range of programming languages including Java, C++, and C# so you become a versatile and adaptable programmer.
