This includes programming languages, software engineering, artificial intelligence, operating systems, databases, nature-inspired computation, concurrent computing, robotics and the theory of computation. But it goes wider than this and you’ll also explore concepts from fields as diverse as maths, engineering, linguistics and psychology.
