About this course

Computer science concerns understanding, designing, implementing and using computing systems. These systems can range in scale, and complexity, from the tiny components of a single processor to the globe-spanning internet.

The core concepts of computing come from mathematics, logic, and engineering, such as:

* what it means to compute

* what can or cannot be computed

* how computers work

Applications of computer science

Computer science also concerns the practical techniques of programming computers to solve real and difficult problems. There are many links to other subjects, including:

* electronics

* physics

* mathematics

* biology

* psychology

* linguistics

* sociology

This intellectually challenging subject underpins core technologies of the 21st century and can be a route into many different careers.

We offer a wide range of courses delivered by leaders in their field. Our degree flexibility allows you to tailor your experience to your interests and be in control of your learning.
