Designed in consultation with industry, the Computer Science degree will equip you with a strong knowledge of the key concepts of computing, software and systems. <br/><br/>Creating links between theory and practice, the course covers the theoretical foundations of data and computation, computer architectures, the construction of computers and their operating systems. You will build on these theories to develop a broad range of practical programming and software development skills, along with highly transferable computational thinking, analytical and problem solving skills. You will examine how professional software code is best organised, and will begin working at the boundary where software and hardware meet to understand how software can interact with the physical world. <br/><br/>Broadening options will allow you to hone your knowledge in specialist areas such as Artificial Intelligence, mobile technologies, robotics, and data analytics and business intelligence to become highly employable across different sectors of the digital economy. As such, you can graduate with a named award in: <br/><br/>•BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Mobile Computing)<br/><br/>•BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Robotics) <br/><br/>•BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) <br/><br/>•BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Data Analytics) <br/><br/>This degree has been accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by BCS. An accredited degree entitles you to professional membership of BCS, which is an important part of the criteria for achieving Chartered IT Professional (CITP) status through the Institute. Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.<br/><br/>We offer this programme with two study options. You can choose three years full-time or four years full-time which would include a one-year professional placement between years two and three that will give you hands-on experience in a real-life working environment. This sandwich year would give you practical skills that many employers seek, giving you a competitive edge upon graduation.
