Course summary

You’ll gain far more than just a Computer Science degree with us. We equip students with the skills and practical experience to become highly employable. From the industry-standard facilities you’ll use, through to opportunities to gain Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cisco certifications, we know what makes the difference. And as most of our Computer Science students opt for a paid placement year, you’ll have the chance to work in industry before you graduate. These exciting placements can be with companies locally, nationally or as far afield as the US and Singapore. It’s just one element of the amazing industry links you’ll encounter. We also have guest lectures and academics who are AWS-certified educators. GradEX, our Final Year Graduate Show, is also where students ‘sell’ their projects to a panel of industry judges.The course will give you a solid foundation in all major aspects of computing. It includes digital technologies, network concepts, cyber security, programming, software development and cloud computing. From web design and user experience through to mastering programming languages, such as JavaScript and Python, you’ll see how everything knits together. You’ll do everything from a real-world perspective, with opportunities to complete live briefs and set up your own simulated companies. It means you’ll become agile and flexible – qualities valued by graduate recruiters.Throughout the degree, you’ll take a variety of modules, giving you a broad knowledge of Computer Science.If you choose to take a Foundation Year, we’ll build up your academic skills so you are ready to join the main degree programme. You’ll study topics in key areas, including emerging technologies and the fundamentals of computer systems development.CareersOur Computer Science graduates are snapped up by employers as their skills are in high demand. Some get offered jobs through their placements and join the firms full-time after they complete their degree. With a need for thousands more software developers in the UK, it’s a specialist field with huge opportunities for our graduates. Cloud technologies are another major growth area. Many of our graduates also go on to work for tech companies as junior engineers. But there are so many roles that fit seamlessly with a Computer Science background. Possible careers including becoming a computer systems analyst, database administrator, computer hardware engineer, computer network architect, web developer, UX designer or computer programmer. As our Computer Science degree is BCS-accredited, you can also apply to become a member of the BCS upon graduation.
