Develop the foundations of tomorrow’s technologies, and design real-world solutions that shape our digital future. From the foundations of algorithms and software engineering to AI, complex data-driven systems, and cybersecurity.

In this programme, you will learn to understand the underlying mechanisms of computing, and how to use these to develop meaningful applications. You will learn to break down complex problems, and design creative solutions that are effective, secure, and scalable. Along the way, you will learn to code in different languages, and dive into topics such as computer systems, networks, software engineering, logic, cybersecurity and AI.

Computer Science in a rapidly evolving digital world

Computer Science in a rapidly evolving digital world

In a fast-changing digital landscape in which computer technology plays a key role, this programme develops strong analytical thinking alongside core computing foundations that underpin all modern technologies, including AI. You will learn how to think critically rather than simply write code, and how to work with AI as a powerful tool rather than be limited by it. These future-proof skills outlast any single programming language or platform and will remain relevant throughout your future career. With a degree in Computer Science, you become the driver of technology, not just a user of it.
