We’re living in an exciting age, when visionary technologies are quickly becoming the everyday. Computing has progressed so far in the last 20 years that the smartphone in your hand is more powerful than the world’s leading desktop computers once were. As technology and converging technology infiltrate and disrupt every global industry, now is the time to study computer science.

Knowledge building

Our BSc Computer Science with Professional Experience course will provide you with a broad understanding of the field of computing with a core specialism in programming. You’ll develop an understanding of methodical approaches to the analysis, design, development, testing and maintenance of object-oriented systems using the Java language. You'll graduate with a solution-focused approach and a critical awareness of applying the right skills to complete a specific goal.

Professionally-accredited curriculum

Accredited by the BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, you’ll be educated to the highest industry standards. The purpose of accreditation is to confirm that our course meets the required standards for entering a career in the IT industry. We’ll ensure you adopt a professional approach, making you aware of laws, regulations and competences needed to work with other IT professionals.

Many graduates choose to work as programmers and software developers, but others progress to other IT-based roles including consultancy, system development, or as computer analysts. Our computer science alumni have found employment with leading national companies across a range of industries, such as Sainsburys, Cisco, Microsoft, SIS, Autotrader, HMRC, Ferranti and Civica, plus local firms emerging in the fast-growing North West tech community.
