What you will study
These courses will develop your understanding of the concepts and principles that form the basis of computing systems.

We’ll provide you with the balance of knowledge and skills you need to design, implement and troubleshoot software and complex systems to a professional standard.

You’ll explore a wide range of topics, including:

• Artificial intelligence
• Computational mathematics
• Computer security
• Object-oriented programming.

This will involve using languages and tools such as Java, C++, Android, SQL, Python, MATLAB and assembler, plus specialist hardware such as Raspberry Pi computers.

You can apply to study for a BSc or an MEng. The MEng builds on the BSc with a masters year and is a direct route to a masters qualification, known as an integrated masters.
