This double degree enables students to gain skills and knowledge in the technical field of computer science as well as in a variety of subjects in the humanities and social sciences.

The Computer Science component emphasises comprehension of the basic principles behind computing tools, operating systems, compilers and translators, and computer hardware. You will study the representation of data and data structures and the design of algorithms, as well as the creation of hardware and software tools and the role of non-computing elements in the design and development process.

In the Arts component, you will choose a major and a minor from a range of disciplines, including languages, arts, history, philosophy and business. In whichever area you study, you will develop transferable skills and in-depth knowledge, and gain the tools to think critically, communicate effectively and conduct independent research.
