Computer science drives the fundamental technologies of today’s connected world. Take your place to set the agenda for tomorrow’s ever-changing digital world. Every area of our lives, from healthcare to business, entertainment and communications is dependent on computing technology. As a result, computer science is now one of the fastest growing job fields in the world and skilled computer scientists are in demand. Globally, computer science systems, networks and applications affect our everyday lives in healthcare, business, entertainment and communications. At Southampton, our Computer Science graduates have a world-leading reputation for creative solutions based on cutting-edge knowledge and state-of-the-art technical skills.

Employability is embedded into modules from the first year onwards and right from the first lecture. We explain the degree skills which are being taught throughout the modules and offer a number of optional employability modules. The technical skills you will obtain are in high demand, as are skills of understanding and analysing problems, together with communicating the results. Major technology organisations have a special need for computer scientists. You could end up as part of the team writing the next version of Windows, devising a computer based stock control system for an automotive manufacturer, or writing a secure web-based customer interface for a US music distributor.
