Course Overview

 

You'll work on real and simulated projects so you can experience the challenges of delivering complicated technical solutions on time.

The highlights

  • Spend the first year learning the fundamentals of computer science and finding out where your passions and talents lie 
  • From year two, you can choose either the Software Development pathway or the Networks and Security one — you'll get a taste of both subjects in the first year to help you make your decision
  • Work with the latest, industry-standard technologies in almost every tutorial
  • Choose to take a year's work placement between years two and three of your course, to super-charge your employment prospects.

You can choose from two pathways; BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Software Development) or BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Networks and Security) pathway.

Our Computer Science degree with a Software Development pathway or a Networks and Security pathway is highly technical with a strong focus on the most important skills within the subject areas. Our Software Development pathway focuses on computer programming, with an emphasis on practical techniques underpinned by theory and informed by research. The Networks and Security pathway is based on a recognised industrial certification in Networks. There is a common first year with specialist modules in your second and final year – this approach gives you the time to understand which area you’re interested in most to help you decide which pathway to choose at the end of your first year.

In Computer Science (Software Development) you will:

  • Harness cutting-edge software development tools in our industry-standard laboratories
  • Learn from experienced computer scientists who have strong industry links

In Computer Science (Networks and Security) you will:

  • Study an industry-recognized CISCO Certified Network Associate syllabus
  • Learn from experienced computer network specialists and ex-industry professionals
