This programme offers an education in Computer Science that is both broad and deep. As well as covering basic elements such as computer fundamentals, programming, information systems, enterprise computing, social and professional issues, and the world-wide web, it also has a distinctive flavour from, firstly, its emphasis on applied computing (drawing on inter-disciplinary research and computing across the Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy), and secondly, through its engagement with the research interests of the Computer Science group within the Faculty, notably machine learning and optimisation, secure and distributed systems, and artificial intelligence.
This (Defence) programme will enable you to develop digital capabilities increasingly required across the modern defence sector. These capabilities support defence applications including autonomous systems, decision-support tools, cyber capability and digitally enabled command environments.
Industry engagement ensures that course content remains aligned with defence sector requirements and defence partners contribute to teaching through guest lectures, collaborative projects and industry-informed modules.
You will also undertake project modules in your second and third years with a defence industry focus.
