Working with Computer Science specialists in the Faculty of Science and Engineering, you’ll explore a range of topics relevant to the school curriculum. So you’ll develop subject knowledge relevant to the classroom as well as exploring Computer Science concepts at degree level.
Throughout your degree, you’re expected to study for 1,800 hours per year. It includes scheduled hours, time spent on placement and independent study. How this time’s divided among each of these varies each year and depends on the course and modules you study.
