Computing Science

Computing science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering used in the design and use of computers. The rapid adoption of digital technology has increased the demand for highly skilled professionals with a thorough understanding of key computing technologies, combined with the practical skills to solve software issues.

This course will provide you with the opportunity to explore computing science from both an academic and a practical perspective. You will draw upon and develop a detailed knowledge of subject-related theory, technology, development methods and a range of professional and intellectual skills.

The varied computing science industry means that upon graduation, you could expand into several specialist areas. Possible career paths include mobile and software application development, video game designing, database administration, web development, network and computer systems administration and IT security.

If you choose to leave the degree course after successfully passing Year 1, you will be eligible for a Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Computing Science. If you choose to leave the degree course after successfully passing Year 2, you will be eligible for a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Computing Science.
