Course summary

There is an increasing need for practitioners with an interdisciplinary skill set that includes computer science. Our course provides students with first degrees in another subject the opportunity to develop an interdisciplinary profile in order to meet this need. The course should also be of use to those who have worked in the field whilst holding degrees from other backgrounds. The field of computer science has produced some of the most significant advances in technology over the last three decades and radically transformed business and industry practices on a global scale. It has applications in almost every area of study. The course focuses on the School of Computer and Engineering Sciences' strengths, providing a cutting-edge curriculum in medical graphics, cybersecurity, robotics and AI, in addition to foundational computer science topics, such as software and web development. The course is delivered over three terms and is intended to assist students from diverse academic backgrounds in becoming computer scientists. There is also a monthly seminar programme in which leading experts present recent findings and introduce contemporary developments in the above and other areas. There is an option to choose a Project/Placement year for this course, at an additional cost.
