Description:

Prepare for a career working with the rapidly changing technology of computing. You will acquire a strong grounding in the theory of computing science, as well as gaining 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 and systems engineering.

The nature of the subject means students have a wide range of backgrounds in programming and mathematics. Whatever your experience, the course is flexible enough to ensure you’ll achieve the level of understanding at the end of the first year that you need to master the material on the rest of the course. In core modules you will cultivate the essential skills of a computing professional, while in optional modules you’ll be able to sample some of the wide range of problems that arise in both research and industry. You will also gain experience in transferable skills that will help your long-term development, such as working in teams, project management and presenting ideas.
