Computing

Expand your horizons to the whole digital world from gaming, ecommerce and graphics to programming, networks and big data on a computing degree accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT (subject to re-approval).

Business, medicine, education and the arts – every field of human achievement has been revolutionised by the power of computers. You can be part of the next generation pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with our computing degree.

Explore the roots of the digital world and computer science then focus on what interests you most. You could choose modules like games engines, computer graphics and modelling or e-commerce for business.

Our £13m Tech Hub is the place to test your knowledge and skills in our networking and gaming laboratories. You can turn theory into practice in our virtual reality four-screen CAVE (Computer Augmented Virtual Environment) or on the big data servers.

Your future matters to us. As well as developing specialist expertise, you’ll gain transferable skills in IT and project management that will open the doors to a wide range of careers.

Please visit our website for information on available modules.

You will be assessed through a combination of practical exercises, reports, essays and examinations. We want you to develop the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, therefore assessment includes both of these forms, though the emphasis is strongly on individual work.
