Course Overview

Computer science demands and develops a challenging mix of skills and abilities. These include a deep understanding of the technology, creativity and imagination, logic and attention to detail, strong analytic and design skills combined with excellent communication skills and the ability to work as part of a team.

Our graduates not only understand new technologies but can influence their development.

All our computer science degrees have strong practical and theoretical foundations. They have a similar foundation initially, making it possible to transfer between courses.

Transfer to an MEng Computer Science course is possible for students who perform well in Years 1, 2 & 3.
