This four-year degree will give you the chance to study your subject in true depth, preparing you for an exciting career working with the rapidly changing technology of computing.Our students have a range of programming and mathematical backgrounds, so the course is structured to enable you to achieve the same level of understanding across the fundamental areas of the subject by the end of your first year.We emphasise the importance of practical skills, and our core modules will help you develop the skills essential to a career as a computing professional, while our optional modules will allow you to get to grips with the wide range of questions that arise in both research and industry.During your four years you will acquire a strong grounding in the theory of computing science, as well as experience and skills in software engineering and problem solving. You will become a competent programmer in a range of modern general purpose languages such as Java, Python, C and C++. You’ll explore the underlying principles of the subject and learn to adopt a logical, systematic approach to developing solutions to real-world problems. You’ll also benefit from our particular expertise in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, computer vision, graphics, computational biology, data science and speech processing, as well as software engineering and systems engineering. In your fourth year, you will study at Master’s level to deepen your knowledge and specialise in the areas that interest you most. You’ll explore more advanced computing subjects and strengthen your research and analysis skills.This degree is accredited by the British Computer Society**Course Structure**You will follow the BSc programme structure for your first three years, gaining a solid foundation in programming, problem solving, and relevant mathematics and computing theory. You will then develop these themes further through core study in advanced programming, software engineering, data structures, algorithms, and operating systems and architectures. And from year two onwards, you’ll be able to focus on the areas of the subject that interest you most.Our common course structure also means that it’s possible to transfer between our BSc Computing Science, BSc Computing Science with a Year in Industry, and the MComp in Computing Science with a Year Abroad courses. So if, for any reason, you decide not to continue to year four, you can transfer to the BSc course at any point in your first three years.**Year 1**You’ll get to grips with the fundamentals of computing science with an emphasis on programming. And you’ll study mathematical modules, learning how they’ll prove relevant to your future career.**Year 2**In your second year you’ll learn how computers and operating systems work, how to model and manipulate data and how to use advanced programming concepts. You’ll also work in a team to engineer large-scale solutions to problems. Alongside this, you’ll start to shape your own curriculum with a choice of optional modules.**Year 3**Your third year will give you the opportunity to focus on specific areas of computer science through a piece of independent research. You’ll also have a range of optional modules to choose from, all of which represent the School’s current research and strengths. **Year 4**In your final year, you’ll undertake a large project with either a research group or industrial partner, supervised by a member of the faculty. Additionally, you will study advanced programming concepts and techniques and various advanced computing subjects of your choice, to both deepen and broaden your knowledge in modern day state of the art computing science.**Disclaimer** Course details are subject to change.
