Overview

Some of the most exciting research today is emerging from computer science.

Industry and academia are pushing the boundaries of how systems can influence and improve our lives - and the impacts are being felt everywhere from healthcare to energy and finance.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of logic and programming - and test what you’ve learned with hands-on projects and lab work.

You’ll work alongside researchers who are involved in outstanding projects with innovative companies, in fields from robotics to cyber security and data analytics. Students can also apply for paid placements in industry, further developing their experience and employability.

You’ll finish your studies by starting a major research project of your own - conducting research and presenting your findings in a field that inspires you.
