COMPUTER SCIENCE
Solve real-world problems with algorithms and software.
Our Computer Science programme will equip you with the theoretical knowledge and skills to develop cutting edge applications and software.
Whether you wish to pursue a career in big data, become an Artificial Intelligence (AI) expert, design the latest Virtual Reality game, or create the next big mobile app, our degree in Computer Science prepares you for a tech career in practically any industry of your choice.
How is Computer Science different from Computer Engineering?
Computer Science students spend most of their time working on algorithms and software, while Computer Engineering students also work on electronics and hardware.
