FAQs

What is Computer Science?

Computer Science is the study of computers and their systems. You will study the theoretical and practical aspects of information technology and programming.

As a degree, you will focus on computer hardware and software aspects. You will also look at algorithms, research and development and artificial intelligence.

What can you do with a Computer Science degree?

Computer Science graduates can find plenty of jobs with this degree.

Jobs include:

  • Application analyst
  • Applications developer
  • Cybersecurity analyst
  • Data analyst
  • Game designer
  • Machine learning engineer
  • UX/UI designer
  • Web developer
  • Web designer

There are other unrelated fields that you can work in too. Many with a Computer Science degree work as a Business Analysts, an IT Trainer or Network Engineer.

How hard is a Computer Science degree?

The difficulty of a degree is down to the student who studies it. One student may find it tremendously difficult, while another finds it a walk in the park. Ultimately, it comes down to your ability to understand the concepts and theories presented to you. If you find yourself struggling, make sure you speak to your lecturer.

What modules are taught in a Computer Science degree?

A Computer Science degree covers a wide range of different modules.

Generally, modules include:

  • Artificial intelligence.
  • Data structure and algorithms.
  • Application development.
  • Object-oriented programming.
  • Machine learning.
  • Computation theories.

Some institutions may offer more modules, while some may offer fewer. Postgraduate courses have more challenging modules.

What A-Levels are needed for a Computer Science degree?

The entry requirements for a Computer Science degree vary depending on the institution you are applying to. Most universities or colleges require an A-Level in Mathematics, IT or a related science subject.

What should I know before studying Computer Science?

Before studying a Computer Science degree, students should know a few things beforehand.

Such as:

  • The field is constantly evolving: New theories are continually being discovered and discussed and are rarely if ever, the definitive answer to issues that present themselves.
  • You need solid mathematical skills: Those with a strong understanding of mathematics will have an easier time in this degree than those not so good with numbers.
  • Coding, coding, coding: A Computer Science degree involves a lot of coding and programming. You will focus on debugging and writing complex code.

This should not put you off, though. The challenges presented by a Computer Science degree can be interesting ones to tackle, and your lecturers will be only too happy to help.
