BSc (Hons) Computer Science

Through the study of computer science, you'll 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.
Understand theoretical issues underlying a problem, and engineer a solution with this comprehensive three-year BSc in computer science.

In this ever-evolving field there is no shortage of subjects to explore. Youll be encouraged to experiment with speech recognition, voice synthesis, text summarisation, translation to name a few.

As well as learning to program and think analytically, you'll be encouraged to work in teams and develop your communication skills. And from year two, youll work as part of a team to solve real problems set by real clients.

The main focus of your final year is a dissertation project, where youll enjoy scope for creative and intellectual exploration. You'll 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.
