Computer science

Undergraduate courses starting in 2024

Computer science is the science behind much of the technology we use in our daily lives. Programming is a core topic but there’s so much more to learn.

Our courses cover a broad range of computer science areas, exploring the subject's traditional software and logic aspects, with special attention to its underlying mathematics. You’ll develop a sound knowledge base and a wide range of skills valuable to a career in the field, including learning to analyse, integrate and apply new ideas and techniques to solve computing problems.
