ASU London is now home to TEDI-London.

Power up your future with Computer Science

This highly desirable Bachelor of Computer Science degree is designed to equip you with the practical, future-focused skills needed for the fast-evolving world of technology.

• This isn’t a traditional computer science degree where you learn theory first and apply it later - project-based learning is at the heart of your experience.

• From your first year, you’ll tackle industry-style challenges, working in teams to solve real problems and develop the technical, professional and leadership skills employers want.

• You‘ll develop the technical and creative skills required to design, build and implement innovative digital solutions.

• You’ll study core foundations including algorithms, programming, software engineering, AI, cybersecurity, big data and smart systems, applying them in projects that reflect how technology is developed in industry.

• You’ll work with the latest technologies in a degree designed for the age of AI, combining creativity with practical problem-solving.

• When you graduate you are ready to apply your knowledge to real-world challenges - making an impact in technology, business, health, security and beyond.

Through ASU London’s partnership with Arizona State University, you can progress to a master’s degree in the US with a number of specialisations, completing both qualifications in just four years.

How will you learn?

As soon as you start you’ll be on a fast-track to complete your bachelor and master’s degree in four years.

From 2026, ASU London will be located in the heart of Islington, Central London at the City St George’s Clerkenwell campus. From trendy cafés and live music venues to leafy parks and independent shops, Islington offers the perfect mix of city buzz and community feel. It is one of London’s most vibrant student areas.

Hands on learning

You’ll experience an unconventional and hands-on learning approach. We focus on practical, project-based learning without traditional lectures.

A computer scientist from day 1

From day one, you’ll be treated as a tech professional, working on real-life computing challenges co-delivered with industry partners.

Industry connected

Collaboration with industry throughout the degree is central to our computer science curriculum. It has been designed to be industry-focused, ensuring that you learn not only the theoretical foundations of computer science but also apply them to authentic, real-world challenges.

Learn from employers

Throughout your studies, you will have regular opportunities to interact with industry professionals through guest lectures, live project briefs. These experiences give you insight to professional practice, broaden your career networks, and enable you to understand the contexts in which computer scientists work.

Working in teams

Throughout the degree, you’ll work in multidisciplinary teams, tackling problems, just as you would in industry. You’ll develop not only your technical skills but also communication, collaboration, and professional behaviours, all essential for success in the IT sector.

Above and beyond - additional skills

We teach you skills to support your learning, for instance, maths is a required tool for computer science, we scaffold the maths around your learning, teaching what you need to know, when you need to know it.

After you graduate

This bachelor degree will help you enter the technology sector with confidence, ready to make an impact. You’ll have the practical experience, technical expertise, and professional skills that employers value, including teamwork, communication, project management, and ethical decision-making.

Graduates from Bachelor Computer Science (BSc) can progress to Arizona State University and complete a Masters in Computer Science.

During your degree, to ensure you are progressing effectively as a computer scientist, a range of assessments are used to evaluate your professional, practical and theoretical understanding. You’ll be assessed both individually and as part of groups, using a variety of methods designed to suit different learning styles and reflect real-world computer science practice.

Typical assessment methods include:

Reports

Presentations

Vivas

Tests and exams

Log books

Portfolios

This diverse approach allows you to demonstrate your skills and knowledge in multiple ways, while the most appropriate method is chosen at the module level to ensure a balanced assessment across the programme.

Group work is a key part of your learning, and a clear group working policy ensures it is fair, consistent, and reflective of professional practice.

Through this mix of assessments, you’ll build the ability to communicate, collaborate, and apply your knowledge in real-world scenarios, preparing you for future careers and industry challenges in IT and computer science.

To work as a teacher at a state school in England or Wales, you will need to achieve qualified teacher status (QTS). This is offered on this course for the following level:
