Computer Science

Computer science incorporates a number of specialist areas underpinning the digital technologies we use every day. Our course is taught by leading researchers who are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in this rapidly changing field to ensure you're up to date with the latest developments.

You'll learn the main areas of the discipline, including software engineering, Artificial Intelligence, information security and data analytics, as well as computer systems, databases and networks.

In addition to the technical knowledge you'll need to pursue a career in this field, you'll learn about the impact of technology on individuals, organisations and society. With a work-based learning module embedded within the course, you'll also have the chance to develop your skills in the workplace and enhance your CV.

At the University of East London we have BCS Accreditation, Microsoft IT Academy and CompTIA Academy status, so your qualification will be recognised and valued anywhere in the IT sector.

Our Computer Science with Foundation Year programme is perfect if you want a degree in the field, but do not have the standard entry requirements. The purpose of the extra Foundation year is to prepare you for your Computer Science programme, equipping you with the necessary academic skills and a firm grounding in the subject.
