About

Introduction:

The computer science industry is a challenging place but it’s an exciting one too.

Successful managers in the industry need graduates with the right balance of knowledge and experiences. That’s why you’ll start with the fundamentals of computer science, develop your programming skills in the areas of AI and Cloud computing, and then take your studies to the next level with Masters level modules to give you a deeper understanding and the edge in the workplace.

We encourage students to take the optional work placement year at the end of Year Two, which gives you the chance to gain vital experience and put your knowledge into practice.
