Whether you're building the next generation of software, designing immersive games and multimedia platforms, or developing cybersecurity strategies and advanced networks, Computer Science is your gateway to limitless possibilities. \
On our BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Sandwich Placement degree, you will explore artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and emerging technologies while developing the skills to shape how we live, learn, and connect: from smart systems to secure infrastructures, your journey into innovation starts here. \
The addition of a sandwich placement—which you’ll undertake during year three of your studies—allows you to apply your learning in a real-world context. You’ll gain hands-on experience, build your professional network, and develop the confidence and capabilities to thrive in this dynamic sector. \
Developed in collaboration with our partner BAE Systems, industry focus is embedded within every module, meaning you will gain exposure to industry experts within a professional setting. Over the 4 years, you will have the opportunity to work on technical projects designed to build upon your learning. In your final year, you will undertake a Professional Project; a substantial and independent piece of research into a topic of your choice, related to one of your taught modules. \
Our Computer Science course is taught at Lancaster or our brand-new Barrow campus, a purpose-built facility equipped with the latest resources and technology.
