Computing Science degree will provide you with knowledge of the theoretical, scientific and mathematical components of computing such as: algorithms for data processing and analysis fundamental theory of information and computation software engineering principles and practices mathematics that underpins computational systems. However, computing scientists do not deal with just hardware; they care about everything in between those areas. They design and develop all types of software from the large banking system which allows money to be sent internationally, to the small bit of software which identifies your iPod when you attach it to your laptop.

Our students are highly employable: They develop the expertise that employers want of computing graduates – our industrial advisory board includes experts from 2in10, NCR, Chevron, Microsoft and Cisco. Our course portfolio is modelled upon the needs of the industry, and it is updated annually to maintain its relevance to the real world. They work directly with employers - international forum discussions in Level 1, .NET web application development for an external client in Level 2, internet authoring mashup in Level 3, research applications in Level 4. Project work, guest lectures and research seminars involve key industry partners such as NCR and Yahoo!. They have the chance to take part in an industrial placement module between Level 3 and 4, giving our graduates the edge in the ever-competitive job market. Students have previously enjoyed placements in leading computer games companies such as Tag and Dynamo. The scientific and mathematical skills you will learn as part of the computing science degree are becoming increasingly sought after in the current IT market. There is demand for computing science graduates in the games industry and the degree is also useful for graduates wanting to work in Silicon Valley and in the major online companies. Our graduates have gone on to work for industry giants such as Microsoft and Yahoo! as well as the games industry, project management and the NHS.
