Systems Programming – This major gives you strong systems programming and systems administration skills, focusing on programming at the level of the underlying operating system. It emphasises the development of highly-efficient and reliable code that can provide support services for higher-level application programs, as well as the development of programs suitable for systems administration and management. Practical work utilises C/C++ (the industry standard language for systems programming) and Unix environments.

Our Computer Science degree is highly practical and developed in close consultation with industry. Depending on the subjects completed, you may be able to program real-time, fault-tolerant, mission-critical software systems and simulated environments, including gaming and entertainment software. You will graduate career-ready and look forward to opportunities in: computer security systems programming systems administration network support and management network and systems security support real-time programming systems engineering distributed software development communications and distributed systems support research and development in computer science
