Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Computer Science

Programming is a fundamental part of being a computer scientist and Nottingham Trent University is committed to developing graduates who have the right programming skills for industry by giving them earning experiences that include opportunities to get hands-on with software projects for local companies, and developing their confidence and their appeal to industry. Students will build the technical knowledge needed to analyse problems associated with the development of large-scale computing systems, acquiring software engineering skills to deliver solutions that drive real-world industry.

This course provides a thorough education in computing for industry, meaning students graduate with advanced skills in the development of software and an ability to design and manage complex and intelligent systems.

Why study Computer Science at NTU? • This course is accredited by the BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT to Chartered Engineer (CEng) and IT Professional (CITP) status. • The Computer Society will enable students to share ideas with other like-minded and ambitious students in the UK. • Students will share material in common with the BSc (Hons) Software Engineering and BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Games Technology) in the first year. This will enable students to review their studies and choose the pathway that they enjoy best.

Students will learn core skills concerning the production of computer programmes and applications, as well as specialist knowledge in areas such as:

• artificial intelligence • service-centric and cloud computing • analysis and design.

All of the courses within the Computer Science cluster share a common first year. This will provide students with the flexibility to review their pathway once they have started studying. At the end of year one, students can choose to transfer to BSc (Hons) Software Engineering or BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Games Technology).

If students perform well, there is also an opportunity to transfer to the four-year MComp (Hons) Computer Science course, which combined undergraduate and postgraduate material.
