Computer Science
This is our classic degree programme, which will provide you with a broad knowledge base in the diverse field of Computing. Compared to the Software Engineering degree course, Computer Science puts an emphasis on the theoretical and more abstract understanding of computation.
BSc/MComp Computer Science
Provides you with a broad knowledge base in the field of computing, with an emphasis on the theoretical and more abstract understanding of computation. The first and second year teach the foundations. The third year lets you specialise in the area you find most exciting, for example: Graphics or Speech Technology. Fourth-year students either take part in running Genesys Solutions, and/or undertake a piece of original research in Darwin. All fourth-year students take some Advanced Research Topics – projects based around an area of staff research. Lots of practical content and teamwork projects at all levels.

BSc/MComp Computer Science and Mathematics
A dual degree taught in conjunction with the School of Mathematics and Statistics. It's a natural partnership: maths is a key contributor to the field of computer science. Your time is split equally between computer science and maths topics. We teach you the theoretical mathematical side to computing as well as the more practical engineering aspects. Graduates with this depth of knowledge and specialist experience are in demand.
