The aims of this course are: to provide the foundations for understanding of core ideas, methods and technologies in computer science; to provide the technical skills and background material so that the postgraduate will be able to conduct a near state-of-the-art research or development project with a specialisation in visualisation; to provide the graduate with a range of specialist and transferable skills; and to provide the educational base for further professional development and lifelong learning. Students completing this course will have an understanding of the fundamentals underpinning computing and its applications with a specialisation in the area of visualisation. You will be able to describe the operation of such software systems, apply the related principles into the implementation of properly engineered software, and understand the drivers for future trends. Computer Science at Bangor is regularly ranked amongst the top universities in the UK for employability according to league tables. The Software Alliance Wales (SAW) Project helps to foster collaborations with local IT companies. There are also many opportunities in the IT industry in many sectors due to the presence of a comparatively high number of IT companies and SMEs in north Wales.
