Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Computer Science (G402)

The course covers all the key areas in computer science, software engineering and development, and also explores specialised computer science topics, laying the foundations for success in a rapidly changing environment.

A key benefit of the course is its flexibility. Students will be able to build a customised route within computer science, following a pathway in one of a number of computing areas to suit their interests. Students will develop a wide range of skills and knowledge in areas such as creative computing, information systems, graphics and games development, mobile and web computing, software engineering, design and development, and software security.

They will use industrial tools and techniques throughout the course and graduate well versed in all aspects of the software lifecycle.

Students will have the chance to apply new knowledge and skills to a real-world problem, usually in the form of a small-scale project set by an external organisation. As well as the technical skills they will develop as part of this project, they will build key transferable skills around the areas of commercial awareness, leadership and organisation.
