Computing Science

Computing Science is the study of information, computation and computational thinking. It is wide-ranging, from programming, programming languages and engineering large software systems, to the design and evaluation of human/computer interfaces, algorithms, computer and network systems, as well as information retrieval and storage systems.

The programme will be a broad computing science programme whose main themes are security, connectivity, mobility, and usability. It gives you the opportunity to study a broad range of core computing science topics including Cyber Security, Mobile Human-Computer Interaction, Multimedia Systems & Applications.

Graduates from Computing Science will have good prospects for working in a variety of careers within the IT industry. These can range from highly technical, systems-level development such as application developers, consultants as well as many other IT-related roles. Some of our students also go on to do research degrees. This is also a suitable background for becoming a teacher of Computing or, indeed, to work in other areas where logical problem-solving and system design skills are valued.
