Computer Science degrees:

• BSc in Computer Science ? flagship computer science degree that equips graduates for any of the exciting and rewarding careers within the IT industry.

• BSc in Computer Science (Web Systems Engineering) ? specialised variation with a greater focus on web-specific applications and technologies

• BSc in Computer Science (Software Entrepreneurship) ? a 50/50 blend of computer science and business/economics

• BSc in Computer Science with Chinese ? a 50/50 blend of computer science and Chinese studies

All four streams share a core of computer science modules that cover fundamental themes so all graduates are equipped to design and develop complex software applications and understand the key technologies that underpin such applications. They also include paid work placement in the IT industry in Year 3, and a substantial individual project in Year 4 supervised by a member of staff
