**You’ll receive a thorough grounding in both the theory and the practical skills associated with this dynamic subject, encountering application areas such as cybersecurity, deep learning, speech recognition, cryptography and robotics. We’ll equip you with skills needed to succeed in your career.** Embark on a transformative journey with our innovative and comprehensive three-year BSc in Computer Science. Delve into the core concepts of computer science to develop your problem-solving skills, and learn how to apply your knowledge to engineer solutions that shape our digital world. In this ever-evolving field, there is no shortage of subjects to explore, and you will have the chance to experiment with cutting-edge technologies to develop your skills. These include speech recognition, voice synthesis, text summarisation, and machine learning to name a few. Core modules in years one and two will provide you with the foundations of computer science, while in the final year a range of optional modules will allow you to tailor your studies to your own interests. These include topics such as software reengineering, cyber security, and more. On top of these specialised modules, the focus of your final year is a dissertation project, where you will have scope for creative and intellectual exploration through a year-long individual project, guided by one of your lecturers. As well as learning to program and think critically, you will be encouraged to work in teams, develop your communication skills, and think about the impact of your work in a real-world context. These are essential for a career in industry or research, and demonstrate the well-rounded education our programme will provide you. **Accreditation** This course is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS). It fully meets the requirements for Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP) and partially meets the requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng). **Why study this course?** * **Specialist teaching and facilities** - Our lecturers are renowned computer scientists and internationally recognised researchers, whose research shapes our cutting-edge teaching.
