Either study abroad for a year or spend a year working in industry, gaining real-world experience and building a robust network - previous students have completed placements with industry leaders including Deloitte, The Walt Disney Company, PayPal, and Samsung SDS Europe.
Our Darwin module lets you engage in a substantial piece of group research, culminating with the possible production of a paper, as well as a final conference-style presentation.
Get hands-on practical experience by choosing our Genesys module. Support real customers to solve genuine problems, using agile software engineering and lean startup practice – preparing you for an exciting and varied career.
You will have access to the latest hardware, software and operating systems, high-spec graphics computers, and a robotics arena in our dedicated computer labs. Plus, our lecturers are renowned computer scientists, and their research shapes our teaching.
Professional, communication and presentation skills help to create more employable computer scientists and software engineers. These are extremely valuable to companies, making you a well-rounded and highly prized candidate.
Our dedicated student welfare advisor provides support - for example, if you are feeling down, overwhelmed or struggling to adjust to student life.
Embark on a transformative journey with our hands-on and comprehensive five-year MComp in Computer Science, where you will learn the fundamentals of computer science and work collaboratively on a specialised research project.
Delve into the core concepts of computer science to develop your problem-solving skills, and learn how to apply your knowledge to engineer solutions that shape our digital world.
In this ever-evolving field there are no shortage of subjects to explore, and you will have the chance to experiment with cutting-edge technologies to develop your skills. These include speech recognition, voice synthesis, text summarisation, and machine learning, to name a few.
Core modules in years one and two will provide you with the foundations of computer science, while in the later years, a range of optional modules will allow you to tailor your studies to your own interests. These include topics such as software reengineering, cyber security, and more.
On top of these specialised modules, the focus of your third year is a dissertation project, where you will have scope for creative and intellectual exploration through a year long individual project, guided by one of your lecturers.
In your fifth year you will be able to specialise and get the chance to work alongside our research staff as part of a group research project. Plus, you will have the option to participate in Genesys Solutions – our student-led software development organisation – throughout your final year, solving customer’s problems, using agile software engineering and lean startup practice.
As well as learning to program and think critically, you will be encouraged to work in teams, develop your communication skills, and think about the impact of your work in a real-world context. These are essential for a career in industry or research, and demonstrate the well-rounded education our programme will provide you.
