Computer Science BSc (Hons) combines core theoretical computing principles with relevant practical experience, teaching the concepts and techniques students need to pursue a career in this rapidly developing field. Students’ll gain a solid foundation in the major themes of technical computing, including software development, database design and web technologies, theoretical and practical foundations, computer security and an awareness of professional practice and social responsibility. The first year is designed to suit students encountering the subject for the first time, but will also challenge those with a good knowledge of computer science. The course shares a common first year with Software Engineering BSc (Hons) and students can transfer between courses after the first year of study.
