Computer Science BSc (Hons)

Through the study of computer science, youll learn how to understand the theoretical issues underlying a problem and how to engineer a solution. You can experiment with speech recognition, voice synthesis, text summarisation, machine translation, robot learning and control, computational biology or virtual reality.<br/><br/>**Understand theoretical issues underlying a problem, and engineer a solution with this comprehensive three-year BSc in computer science.**<br/><br/>In this ever-evolving field there is no shortage of subjects to explore. You’ll be encouraged to experiment with speech recognition, voice synthesis, text summarisation, translation… to name a few.<br/><br/>As well as learning to program and think analytically, youll be encouraged to work in teams and develop your communication skills. And from year two, you’ll work as part of a team to solve real problems set by real clients.<br/><br/>The main focus of your final year is a dissertation project, where you’ll enjoy scope for creative and intellectual exploration. Youll also have the opportunity to choose from a large selection of modules spanning theoretical and applied computer science, AI and software engineering approaches taught by research leaders in their field.<br/><br/>**Why study this course?**<br/>- **Professional skills and group work** - professional, communication and presentation skills help to create more employable computer scientists and software engineers.<br/><br/><br/>- **Specialist teaching facilities** - youll have access to the latest hardware, software and operating systems, plus high-spec graphics computers and a robotics arena in our dedicated computer labs in The Diamond.<br/><br/><br/>- **Support throughout your degree** - our dedicated student welfare advisor is available to provide support, for example, if you are feeling down, overwhelmed or struggling to adjust to student life.<br/>
