Without secure networks, business, commerce and communications would fail. As the infrastructure of technology grows, so does the demand for professionals who can apply advanced knowledge of networking principles and networked applications. Our students are the people who make possible the technology we all use in our daily lives.
Our School is a community of scholars leading the way in technological research and development. Today's computer scientists are creative people who are focused and committed, yet restless and experimental. We are home to many of the world's top scientists, and our work is driven by creativity and imagination as well as technical excellence. That's why we are ranked 6th in UK for research power in computer science (Times Higher Education research power measure, Research Excellence Framework 2021)
Essex graduates in computer science have been very successful in finding employment as systems analysts, software engineers, programmers and systems engineers, while a number go on to postgraduate study or research.
Our school has a large pool of external contacts, ranging from companies providing networks, cloud services and network security, who work with us and our students to provide advice, placements and eventually graduate opportunities.

Your education extends beyond the university campus. We support you in expanding your education through offering the opportunity to spend a year or a term studying abroad at one of our partner universities. The four-year version of our degree allows you to spend the third year abroad or employed on a placement abroad, while otherwise remaining identical to the three-year course.
Studying abroad allows you to experience other cultures and languages, to broaden your degree socially and academically, and to demonstrate to employers that you are mature, adaptable, and organised.
