Our Computer Science with a Year in Industry BSc course equips you with an in-depth understanding of the field of computer-based information systems. You'll study a wide range of innovative modules, honing your analytical and practical skills, including becoming proficient across diverse software platforms and programming languages. The course will also enhance your understanding of computer science's changing role in an increasingly complex, digital world, covering vital social, legal, professional, and ethical responsibilities. This ensures you graduate with a well-rounded skillset, opening the door to a wide range of future-focused careers. Throughout your degree, you’ll also get to apply your skillset to tackle complex projects inspired by real-world industry problems. This could involve developing a tech solution for an external company in your fourth year. You’ll then apply your learning during a year-long professional placement in a major UK company, gaining crucial skills and experience for your future career.
