**Why study BSc Computer Science****Get prepared for the technology jobs of the future. You'll master in-demand programming, computing and mathematical skills through project-based modules where you'll develop your own software.**- The degree prepares you for a range of careers across the tech industry, such as software engineer, technology consult and data scientist. It covers key technical skills such as algorithmic thinking, full-stack web development, and machine learning, as well as industry-relevant soft skills like project management frameworks, user-centred design, and digital venture creation.- The degree is hands-on and practical from the start. You'll be creating your own web and mobile applications, data visualisations, and games. You will explore your potential through these practical projects while learning relevant technical skills for your future career.- In your third year, you'll have the opportunity to undertake a year-long industry placement (making this programme four years full-time, or seven years part-time). This gives you valuable experience to build confidence and contacts, further develop your skills and industry insight, and enhance your career prospects.- We will teach you the skills you need for software engineering, but you don’t need to know how to code before you start. We begin from the basics and bring you up to a professional level over the course of your degree.- You’ll program in multiple languages, use industry-standard tools, learn about analytical skills and problem-solving strategies, and explore topics such as machine learning, data mining, and artificial intelligence. You will also develop professional working practices such as design documentation, testing cycles, version control and issue tracking.- By the end of your degree, you’ll have built a portfolio of work to kickstart your career in the technology industry.
