Distributed and networked computation is now the paradigm that underpins the software-enabled systems that are proliferating in the modern world, with huge impact in the economy and society, from the sensor and actuator networks that are now connecting cities, to cyberphysical systems, to patient-centred healthcare, to disaster-recovery systems. If you want to drive future developments, a degree in Computer Science (Distributed and Networked Computing) will give you the necessary knowledge and practical experience to help you achieve your ambitions. With your degree you can apply to be a member of the British Computer Society adding its professional prestige to your qualification.

Our graduates are among the most employable in the UK – we are ranked third for graduate employability – and, in recent years, have entered many different Computer Science-related roles including network systems design and engineering, web development and production. Other graduates choose to enter careers with a management or financial slant. Our graduates have found employment at a wide range of organisations including Logica, British Telecom, British Aerospace, Microsoft, Amazon.com, American Express, Sky and Orbis Technology.
