Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Computer Science (Placement Year) (G401)

The BCS-accredited Computer Science course equips students with practical and theoretical computer science skills that are highly sought-after across a range of industries. Computer Science graduates with up-to-the-minute skills and abilities are therefore in high demand across a diverse range of industries. The Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Science course can equip students with the practical and theoretical skills needed to pursue the challenging and rewarding careers that exist in computing.

This British Computer Society (BCS)-accredited course provides students with a strong foundation in the critical areas of computer science (with core modules in such areas as logic, programming and software engineering) while also giving students the opportunity to tailor the degree to their own strengths, interests and career aspirations through specialised optional modules covering areas like robotics and network security). Students will conduct their own research project supervised by a member of the department's academic staff.

Students can choose to add additional value to their degree by taking the placement year option and spending a year on professional placement gaining work experience that could give them a competitive edge in the graduate jobs market.
